Learners have the freedom to adhere closely to the original plots, characters and settings or veer off wildly into worlds of their own making. At the heart of every assignment is the core question: What if? What if the wolf is really a dragon? What if the prince is trapped in the tower instead of the princess? What if Hansel and Gretel are abandoned in the heart of a large city or on a deserted island? Learners will explore various choices and the implications of those choices in a supportive and encouraging environment.

What do we do with those learners here at Lotus Learning? We use a variety of materials at this stage, but our hands-down favorite language arts curriculum for the learning to read group is Logic of English’s Foundations Curriculum. https://www.lotuslearning.org/blog/diving-into-literature monthly 0.5 2021-11-29 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60c160c63adbae2e4a6032a6/b2151b81-1c3e-4d5f-b421-a3140b6343ba/Screen+Shot+2021-11-24+at+15.33.51.png Rising Up Blog - Diving into Literature - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.lotuslearning.org/blog/delighting-in-language-arts monthly 0.5 2021-11-23 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60c160c63adbae2e4a6032a6/5b699bfc-0d92-4705-bdde-527b6cf52ef9/Screen+Shot+2021-11-22+at+11.38.37.png Rising Up Blog - Delighting in Language Arts - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.lotuslearning.org/blog/write-now monthly 0.5 2021-10-06 https://www.lotuslearning.org/blog/lotus-learning-is-on-youtube monthly 0.5 2021-10-06 https://www.lotuslearning.org/blog/category/Write+Now%21 monthly 0.5 https://www.lotuslearning.org/blog/category/7+Habits monthly 0.5 https://www.lotuslearning.org/blog/category/Youtube monthly 0.5 https://www.lotuslearning.org/blog/category/Youtube+Channel monthly 0.5 https://www.lotuslearning.org/blog/category/Writing+Lessons monthly 0.5 https://www.lotuslearning.org/blog/tag/Write+Now monthly 0.5 https://www.lotuslearning.org/blog/tag/Write+Now%21 monthly 0.5 https://www.lotuslearning.org/blog/tag/Mindful+Writing monthly 0.5 https://www.lotuslearning.org/blog/tag/Youtube monthly 0.5 https://www.lotuslearning.org/blog/tag/Mindfulness monthly 0.5 https://www.lotuslearning.org/blog/tag/Writing+Lessons monthly 0.5 https://www.lotuslearning.org/blog/tag/A+Sip+of+Coffee monthly 0.5 https://www.lotuslearning.org/home daily 1.0 2025-01-23 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60c160c63adbae2e4a6032a6/1623293270551-3KA7IJ3NDKEAKI0VHK7F/unsplash-image--esAIGzeMqU.jpg Home - Communal Learning in Small Groups Small group classes offer the best of both personalized instruction and learning in community.
