This curriculum was originally developed to help our reluctant writer (a hands-on learner) to enjoy writing lessons…and she and her siblings did! Even our toddler loved to sit behind the board when it was set up on the floor and pretend it was a “house”! It was easy to store by folding it up and sliding it between furniture. And it was easy to pull out – by the students. So this method became a great solution for fun learning in our household!
Q: At what grade, could a child who can read, be quite independent in doing writing assignments on various formats (e.g. lists, letters, stories, reports) with PSLC curriculum?
A: The first grade should have some guidance and modelled writing but during that year or in the beginning of the second grade, children could be independently going to the writing board, pulling out the next assignment, doing it, and then showing the family the finished result. They do not have to wait for “mom” to give the assignment or teach it by this point. Our children loved being able to do this on their own!
