Am I doing enough?

Posted by Sherry on August 25, 2010

I am having trouble with the whole Language Arts part of homeschooling. The question is what exactly is Language Arts?

http://donnayoung.org/forms/help/language-arts.htm

We do handwriting, phonics, learning to read, reading comprehension… However we are lacking in grammar, vocabulary, spelling and punctuation the right way.

So I am thinking maybe I should not stress so much, and just try to add it in over the next few months.

We are homeschooling so I don’t want a lot of stress going on.

What are your thoughts?

Language Arts to me is reading and writing.

We are doing phonics, handwriting-copywork, reading comprehension & we get vocabulary from the books we read.

We are also using First Language Lessons which is a very gentle introduction to grammar in the 1 & 2 grades, we will be adding All About Spelling, & Writing with ease next year.

I think you are doing plenty !! You can branch out later, or add something else next year. We keep things pretty calm around here too. One step at a time.
