Guided by the philosophy that each child as an individual with a unique rate and pattern of growth should be taught on his own level, regardless of his age or number of years in school, this language arts program covers the first 12 levels of a 27-level curriculum guide. Specific program objectives for each child include the development of (1) the ability to communicate with others through listening, speaking, writing, and interpreting; (2) a literary and social language; (3) creative, critical thinking and self-evaluation; and (4) sequential basic skills. Each of the 12 levels provides instruction guidelines in the areas of decoding skills, comprehension, language, study skills, literary appreciation, and creativity. Also provided for each level are recommended materials, informal and oral evaluations, teacher guidelines for worksheets, sample worksheets, literature and spelling lists, and a teacher reaction sheet. This guide concludes with lists of lower and upper primary activities and audiovisual materials for skills and literature, a language arts resource file, and a glossary. (JM)
