Language Smarts

Lessons are engaging and including fun, colorful, mind-building activities with no lesson prep. The books are self-directing and encourage the learners with easy-to-follow directions, examples and pictures. There is no prep required for these lessons. The teaching style of these books is to flex the mind by developing students' critical thinking skills without employing drill and memorization, or to teach to the standard tests. Students study off the paper book or ebook. No prep by parents required. This is self-directed so parents don't need to provide guidance. The books include engaging charts and pictures making the learning interesting and colorful. This is not a good option for parents that want to be more hands on and involved.

Grades: 1-4

Cost: Text books or ebooks (for Windows only) per grade are $42.99.
