What’s new in the 2nd Edition: Using Language Well, 2nd Edition builds on the award-winning first edition series. It also includes the spelling lessons with Spelling Wisdom directly in the student books. The second edition provides additional teacher guidance for customizing the spelling portion of the lesson for each student. The English usage and grammar lessons now offer more review and a more even distribution of new concepts throughout the grade levels.

Concepts Included in Book 5: Sentence Analysis, Part 1
Sentence Parsing • Object of a Preposition • Direct Objects • Indirect Objects • Clauses and Phrases • Compound Objects • Compound Predicates • Poetry Analyzing • Metaphors • Similes • Personifications

• Many English points from previous Using Language Well books are reviewed in Book 5. New English points are introduced using a guided-discovery approach, encouraging your student to look closely for patterns and discover English usage, capitalization, and punctuation guidelines for himself. An introduction to figures of speech is given, featuring similes, metaphors, and personification.
• Grammar – Your student will review the parts of speech by parsing sentences and will begin sentence analysis, learning about the parts of a sentence and how the words fit together. He will also receive a simple introduction to poetry analysis, observing and discovering ear rhymes, eye rhymes, and rhyme schemes.
• Spelling words are drawn naturally from the literary passages featured in each lesson. Your student will be assigned a portion of each passage to study and then write as you dictate it to him.
• The writing component in Book 5 is conjoined with the narrations that are required in other school subjects, such as history, geography, Bible, and science. As your student learns English and grammar concepts in Using Language Well, he will be expected to apply that knowledge to his written narrations. Rubrics are included to help you hold your student accountable for what he has learned.
