- Welcome to Knowledge By Nature!
In today’s video, I am going to show you all the resources I use in teaching language arts for first-grade homeschool. Please keep in mind this how I teach language arts in my homeschool, but it may not be the best fit for your homeschool.
In this video, I break down how I teach reading, how I teach spelling, how I teach handwriting, how I teach grammar, and how I teach phonics. In addition to the language arts curriculums, I will show you the extras we use as far as games and electronic apps!
If you are interested to know more about some of the curriculums, I talked about in today’s video check out these videos before, or if you’re just now finding my channel here are some other videos that you may be interested in:

Love the binder idea for activities!!!!
It was really lovely having it all pulled apart like that. Definitely recommend if you ever plan to reuse it or want to sell it.❤ thanks for watching and commenting
We are using AAR 1 and love it. Love to see how you go through a lesson. Would Like to see how you do Math. Thanks for sharing 😀
Thank you for watching and commenting. I will definitely get a math video in the works. This was an interesting year for math so I will have lots to show 😂
For the sight words workbook, you can use stamps in lieu of cutting out the letters or printing the words. Melissa and Doug has a nice alphabet stamps set. Thank you for sharing.
Oh I love that idea! Thank you❤❤
@@knowledgebynature8480 You're welcome! ❤
I would love to see videos about how you teach subjects! My son is a rising 2nd grader and it will be my first year using aar and aas!

We just started AAR 1 after making it halfway through Logic of English A and we are loving it! The only trouble I'm having is what to do on days that I don't feel my daughter is ready to move onto a new lesson yet. I guess LOE was more scheduled out day to day, where AAR feels a little more loose. Today we played one of the AAR file folder games to reinforce yesterday's lesson, and that worked well! I'm not very "creative" at coming up with my own ideas to reinforce a lesson before moving on though and can see where it could become a huge barrier for me down the road. I'd love any tips or ideas you can share! Thanks for another great video!
Hello! I would be happy to help here. When I don't feel we are ready to move on to the next level there are a few things we do.
One would be when I sense we aren't quite grasping the "new teaching" I will automatically slow that lesson down and spread it out over a few extra days. (As you go, you will start noticing when the new teaching isn't clicking right away)
Example: Day 1 "New teaching, Day 2 "Activity with a review of the new teaching", Day 3 "Review with practice reading sheet", and often times that practice reading sheet is automatically broken into the next day. The reading sheets were our biggest hiccup, I tried to do all the lesson, then expect her to read all the reading sheet and it was too much. After I began to split that reading sheet into a separate lesson everything started going much smoother.
Another idea is when you get to the book lesson or the reading sheet, is you read one page or one column, your child reads the other. Next-Day your child reads what you did the day before, and you read the section they read the previous day. This helps as they are seeing and hearing the proper pronunciation during the time where you help read with them.
The third idea is to reread the book. Even if you reread it multiple times, the student is getting good practice with those new sounds, and especially if you share the journey with them in reading every other page, the book reading might not feel so overwhelming to read over a few times, if the reading is alternated.
Hopefully, this helps, if it didn't make any sense let me know and I would be happy to make a video explaining how we might go about breaking up the lessons when it's not the time for the next lesson!
I totally forgot to mention, there are a TON of game ideas in the very back of your teacher's manual too! Those are quick easy ways to practice with your sheets or phonics/word cards!
Oh my goodness, this is SO helpful, thank you so much! I especially love the idea of tag-teaming the fluency sheets and then switching lines the next day! I think I got discouraged on our first day doing a fluency sheet; it was so much for her to read! I had remembered reading somewhere to cut the page up and use the strips to play a game. This worked wonderfully, but my uncreative mind thought, "Oh no, what do I do next time"?! I will definitely check out the games in the back of the book. I have only prepared 3 of the AAR file folder games, so maybe once I have them all ready I'll feel like I have more tools in my toolbox :). Thanks again so much, I watch all of your videos and they have been so helpful!
Oh thank you so much, that makes me so happy! Our absolute favorite game in the back of the teachers manual is Fun With Emotions. She would play that with the phrases section every single time if I would do it lol
And you totally got this! It just takes a few lessons to really gauge when to pause and when to go!
Another AAR mom here! Remember, with AAR, you only need to do 20 minutes a day! I usually break up the lessons into at least 2 days for new learning, often 3 days. We do the review, new teaching and 1 game the first day. The second day we review our cards, learn the new green cards and read a few lines of each section of the reading sheet. If I feel like we need more practice, day 3 I do review cards, do some more work with the letter tiles, just building other words in the lesson, play the game again and read lines from the sheet we haven't read yet. This is the ONLY phonics we do and as a former reading teacher, I feel like it is enough. Know that a lesson does not have to be finished in one day. There are only about 50ish lessons so, not a lesson for every day.
I am always interested in other hs mom's curriculum choices and how they customize them for their family. 😃
So happy you enjoyed this....I to am always watching and trying to learn little tips and tricks!😊 thanks for watching a commenting!
Do you have a more thorough flip through of the cursive book? And how your guided your daughter through it? Very interested in that one:)
We also LOVE fast phonics on Reading eggs:)
Hello :) Yes, I do have a flip-through of our cursive curriculum. I will attach it here: ua-cam.com/video/hOyXum3bsa0/v-deo.html
Just let me know if you have more questions on how we use it :)
Reading Eggs is awesome right!?!
Are you teaching personal pronouns other than he/ she, him/ her and they/ them for groups? I'm using FLL and WWE for my son this year and I'm not planning to teach anything else but I'd like to know what other homeschoolers are doing with that. I don't know what the other pronouns are either and I was just wondering if our kids are gonna have a problem later if they don't learn them.
In my opinion 1st and 2nd grade your still just scratching the surface of grammar usage. We have other workbooks that appear to not go any further then what you've mentioned also.
But every homeschool is different, if you feel you need to cover more then what FLL offers definitely broaden that learning go what you feel is best! Thank you for watching and commenting. ❤
We are sticking to what’s normal.
