First Language Lessons 3 First Language Lessons Level 3 expands grammar instruction by introducing sentence diagramming, dictionary skills, letter writing, and more advanced language work while continuing the short, structured lessons that made earlier levels successful. Designed for students in grades 2–4, this year-long program is typically taught two to three times per week. It combines grammar instruction with narration, copywork, dictation, picture study, and oral language development. Unlike earlier levels, Level 3 includes both a fully scripted Instructor Guide and a separate Student Workbook with more than 300 perforated, three-hole-punched pages ready for binder storage and everyday use. Students build language skills through: Scripted grammar instruction with word-for-word teaching guidance Copywork and dictation exercises that reinforce writing accuracy Sentence diagramming and grammar analysis Dictionary skills and letter writing practice Narration, picture study, and oral language activities Throughout the course, students strengthen grammar, sentence structure, writing mechanics, language usage, and communication skills through consistent spiral review and repeated practice. Because lessons are scripted and concepts are revisited regularly, parents can adapt pacing, repeat lessons when needed, or adjust end units to match their student's readiness. With structured lessons and increasing independence, First Language Lessons Level 3 helps students move beyond identifying grammar concepts toward using them with confidence.
