How are the language arts areas covered in Beyond Little Hearts for His Glory? Will I need to supplement with other materials?
For oral language, students memorize and recite weekly memory verses and choral read poetry. For handwriting, students copy a portion of a poem to reinforce manuscript handwriting daily. For spelling, students practice one of the 2 spelling lists 4 times each week with a variety of short spelling activities. In grammar instruction, students receive a gentle introduction to basic grammar, usage, capitalization, and punctuation one time each week. In literature, students listen to daily read-alouds from a variety of genres. Brief, daily literature lessons emphasize story elements, genre study, Godly character traits, and narration practice. You should not need to supplement with other materials, unless you desire additional emphasis in a certain area.
