Reading is the framework upon which all other elementary studies are built. It is the vehicle that, in distinct turns, is examined, erected, and then embraced as the means of exploring related elementary disciplines. Development of fiction and non-fiction writing provides the impetus; initially motivating an enjoyment of the creative process, and later by including each student in the work of editing. A more formalized, individual presentation of grammar, spelling, and sentence analysis skills enriches each student's efforts.
