    ACSI Spelling Student Book, Grade 3

    ACSI Spelling Student Book, Grade 3

    Research is the foundation for the methods used to teach spelling in this series. Three strategies used for spelling instruction reflect that research: sound-letter relationships, visual memory, and meanings. Word lists are purposely NOT presented as word families but instead are designed to teach most-frequently-used words as well as spelling rules. Writing/composition activities are the major part of each spelling lesson at all levels, and a number of these incorporate Bible topics. The main emphases for grade three are: 1) solidify sound-letter relationships including basic alternate spellings; 2) employ more visual strategies in learning to spell; 3) expand word difficulty appropriately; and 4) use spelling words in context. Spelling word lists expand to 20 words.

    Writing Strands: Challenging Writing Projects for Homeschoolers, Level 3

    This group of assignments in the series called Writing Strands is designed to give homeschooled third level students a grounding in the very complicated process of giving others their thoughts in written form. This level is designed for students who, in public school, would be considered ready for third or even up to seventh grade. Of course, third and seventh grade students would write much differently, but that is not a problem. Both can experience learning the skills presented in this level. It has been designed to be widely applied, for there are many experiences here that most young writers should have. Scope & Sequence: Topics covered in this level are following directions (basic), sentence & paragraph control (basic), rewriting sentences (basic), description (people), description (people's thoughts), organization (activities), organization (objects), description (perspective), story creation (creative), description (organization), description (actions), narrative events (organization), creative (narrative). (Grades 3 to 7.)
