This curriculum is designed for teachers and students to actively engage with each other and with the grammatical concepts in each lesson, using language skills—reading, writing, speaking, and listening—along with physical movement, songs, and chants. Through Well-Ordered Language’s unique, creative, and orderly method of analyzing the grammatical functions of the parts of speech, students will find the mastery of grammar achievable, meaningful, and delightful.

Full program includes:

• Well-Ordered Language Level 1A Revised Student Edition Students will not merely be able to identify the parts of a sentence, but also understand how words behave in a sentence. As students see the components of language (the parts of speech) unfold before them throughout the Well-Ordered Language series, they will be able to apply their knowledge, gathering and arranging words to express their thoughts clearly and accurately. Well-Ordered Language Level 1A (WOL1A) will introduce students to:
  • Four kinds of sentences (declarative, interrogatory, imperative, and exclamatory)
  • Subject and predicate
  • Verbs
  • Adverbs
  • Adjectives

You will likely find students singing these catchy songs outside of class! The songs and chants are also an excellent resource for those who want to brush up on their grammar.

What's new in the revised edition? See our Explanation of Changes PDF. The revised edition, intended to align Level 1 more closely with the rest of the series, preserves all of the best features of the award-winning first edition while incorporating more comprehensive instruction about sentence analysis, Pause for Punctuation and Moment for Mechanics elements, and a Sentence Bank as an extra resource. This edition includes new grammar activities and wordplay puzzles, plus several new literary examples. Most important, the lessons are streamlined and their order realigned in the teacher’s edition to make them more easily accessible during class time. The result is a richer, fuller, more naturally flowing curriculum that fosters wonder and delight in learning to analyze English grammar.
