Character Quality Language Arts
Character Quality Language Arts (CQLA) is a complete Language Arts Program. The only additional requirements are - for Gr. 2-8 add reading; for Gr. 9-12 add a literature course and if university is on the horizon, something to teach oral presentation and research paper writing.
CQLA entails three complete series (colours) of eight different character qualities within four different grade levels - Level Pre A (Gr. 2/3); Level A (Gr. 4/5); Level B (Gr. 6-8); and Level C (Gr. 9-12). Within each level there are three possible breakdowns for a student to work at - Basic - B (those just beginning the level); Extension - E (those who have done the level before or are further in their language arts studies than a Basic student); and Further Extension - FE (those who are furthest in their language studies of that book's level).
There are Teacher’s Tips scattered throughout the curriculum to give more insights to the teacher and which may used by Level B and C students on their own as well. There are Teacher’s Helps and Answer Keys at the back of each monthly unit for the teacher to pull out and use as needed or for Level B and C students to use as their daily schedule and answers. These Teacher’s Helps include five day and four day lesson plans that tell you or your upper level students what to do each day.
In CQLA, it does not matter which series (colour) you begin with! The three colour series - Red, Blue, and Green - are just the way the character qualities are divided. Choose the level you need according to your student's language arts abilities, then choose the color series you desire according to the character qualities you would like to study for the year. Be sure to get the same color (same set of character qualities) for each student so that the entire family is studying the same quality at the same time.
A downloadable 1 month sample is available on the Training for Triumph website www.tfths.com as well detailed lists of what each level covers.
