    About this ebook

    Overcoming Difficulty in Language Arts is designed to help students build impressive, resourceful, and accurate language skills. The lessons in the textbook provide various opportunities for kindergartners to practice what they are learning. As a result, kindergartners’ language and writing skills will be enhanced, allowing them to improve their grammar and also have a better understanding of language arts. Most importantly, their test scores will be increased on standard tests.

    In addition to teaching grammar, Overcoming Difficulty in Language Arts will empower kindergartners to compose richer and comprehensible paragraphs. Some students may consider writing to be difficult, but with help, they, too, can become proficient writers.

    “I can do all things through Christ who strengthen me” (Philippians 4:13, KJV).

      Writing In Rhythm

      Jun 19, 2019

      Often when people talk about “the music of language” they make it sound like a mere frill, something we add to “dress up” plain writing. I don’t agree with this view. At the heart of language, I hear music—word-music, akin in many ways to instrumenta
