While talking may come instinctively for children, most children do not have a natural desire to write. LPL believe that a beginning writer must master oral language before he is expected to produce original written ideas. Training in the proper use of the English language is essential during the grammar stage. The main goals of first grade English are twofold: to teach students about writing through various exercises based on classical works (writing) and to gently introduce parts of speech through oral lessons (English grammar).

LPL’s First Grade English Lesson Plans cover English grammar and writing using the thorough and age-appropriate books: The Complete Writer: Writing with Ease Workbook, Level 1 and First Language Lessons for the Well-Trained Mind, Level 1 Workbook by Susan Wise Bauer.
