IEW Practicum

Andrew Pudewa will be presenting on the Four Language Arts. When asked, “What are the language arts?” people may respond by listing numerous subjects: spelling, phonics, grammar, penmanship, copying, dictation, narration, and composition. But actually it’s much simpler! For those adhering to the classical model, those ascribing to a Charlotte Mason approach, or those who just want a common-sense curriculum, there are really only four core language arts: listening, speaking, reading, and writing, and attending well to the first two makes teaching the latter two so much easier.

Come prepared to have your educational paradigm adjusted, your load lightened, and your commitment to excellence renewed as you focus on the most important things in the limited time you have.

The Four Language Arts will be followed up with a half-hour Q&A and a short presentation from Nathan King of IEW, sharing his family's journey in homeschooling through Classical Conversations and IEW.
