Savor small moments of wonder with your child, as he learns to appreciate the simple beauty of nature. Share delight in drawing and describing a solitary toad, a creeping caterpillar, or a crisp, yellow leaf. Visit a forest, a creek, or your own backyard.

Create a keepsake, as you witness improvement in his attention to detail, writing skills, and knowledge. Help your student make essential connections between oral language and written language, even as you assist his ability to observe and enjoy the wonders of nature

In My Nature Journal, you will introduce students to the natural sciences through purposeful nature study. Talk a walk. Find a patch of lichen, a beetle, or an ant hill, and allow the student time to draw everything he sees. Nudge his drawings with questions provided for you, or create your own to spark attention to detail. “What colors do you see?” “How many legs does the beetle have?” “What shape is the ant hill?”

Each journal page provides a large font space for writing. He may write his own observations, or you can create simple copywork sentences from his spoken words. “He is crawling on the leaf!” or “He looks fuzzy.” Find another fact or two from the animal and plant classifications provided for you in My Nature Journal. “A caterpillar is an insect. Insect have six legs.” Record only complete sentences.

When all sentences are recorded on the page, whether dictated, copied, or written, the teacher or student then reads the words aloud. In this manner, you will help the student create a delightful record of his own nature study while cultivating his powers of observation.

Step 1 – Dictating and Scribing

If the student does not yet write words or sentences, simply record his spoken words, as he observes and draws. Through questions such as those provided in the front of the journal, ask questions to evoke descriptions. If desired, the student and teacher may add another fact from the classifications in the journal, from a field guide, or elsewhere. The teacher writes in complete sentences directly into his journal. The teacher or student then reads the journal entry.

Step 2 – Copywork

If the student can form letters and words, simply elicit oral descriptions as described above. Then writes a sentence or two from the student’s own observations. The student and teacher may wish to add another fact or two, if space permits. The teacher writes the information in complete sentences. The student copies the sentences into his journal. The student or teacher reads the entry aloud upon completion.

Step 3 – Writing

If the student generates thoughts easily and writes sentences well, he may wish to write his own words into the journal. These may be prompted through discussion with questions from the front of journal for more vivid descriptions. The teacher gently corrects for capitalization, punctuation, and spelling as he writes. The student then reads his journal entry aloud.

Phonograms are letters or letter teams that represent (spell) one of the 44 sounds of the English language. English spelling is the most complex and irregular of any of the modern Western languages. There are nearly 200 phonograms used to spell our 44 English sounds.

Many phonograms have more than one sound, and many sounds are spelled by more than one phonogram. Phonogram cards help students recognize the great variety of spelling patterns in English.

The nine phonogram categories in this set are organized for easy reference and to give some rational order to the irregularities of English spelling. While the order of the categories is from the simpler to the more complex, within each category there may be advanced phonograms that you will want to postpone for later attention. Also, the order of the categories is somewhat flexible after Section I. For instance, you may choose to teach Sections III and IV before the long vowels in Section II. Use these cards in the order that matches your phonics and reading program.

Phonogram cards can be combined and recombined to help students see the multiple ways a sound can be spelled and the multiple sounds for a particular phonogram. For instance, the vowel team ea has two long sounds and one short sound in Section V. When all phonograms have been covered individually, group them together to practice the three sounds of ea..
