Do Hands-On English and the Activity Book provide a complete language arts program, or do I need to supplement with something?
Hands-On English and the Activity Book provide everything you will need for grammar, usage, capitalization, and punctuation. They can easily become the basis for individualized programs in vocabulary and spelling. While the Activity Book provides opportunities for developing sentence-writing abilities and exploring a few genres, you will want students to do more writing than the Activity Book assigns. Work in the content areas might present sufficient opportunities. Although the books provide good information for reading efficiently and for responding to literature, the literature itself is not included. You’ll find many supplementary resources on the GrammarAndMore website, particularly in the LinguaPhile index and on the book and link resource pages.
