Excellent first grammar/composition courses for drawing young children into the writing process gently. Although book 1 is for second grade, it may be used with older, reluctant students. Originally published in 1903, these books include memorization assignments, oral composition, written composition and practice exercises. Enough grammar is introduced to include everything necessary to the writing task. No teacher’s edition is necessary - everything you need is here. May also be used for older, reluctant writers.Homeschoolers' Comments

English for the Thoughtful Child 1
I had a long list of things I wanted to find in a first grammar/composition text: I wanted to apply what Charlotte Mason called “narration,” material concentrating on the writing process that would not burden the young child. I wanted a text that would draw the child into writing, and lay the foundation for good composition skills that could be applied in all learning situations. I wanted something simple and fun to work with. Originally published in 1903, this book uses wonderful pictures to stimulate the child’s imagination and lead him or her into writing. There are memorization assignments, oral compositions, written compositions and practice exercises. Useful as a second grade English text, but it is also very useful as a first course for older, reluctant writers. No teacher’s edition necessary; everything you need is in the student text.

English for the Thoughtful Child 2
Since the original English for the Thoughtful Child was published 1989, we have had countless requests for a second, more advanced volume. This book has all the distinctives of the original (nature lessons, oral composition, picture lessons, memory work, and a gentle introduction to grammar), all centered around the development of writing skills.
