	Mastery of the English language is vital for success in any endeavor. The Language Arts Program provides the framework for the development of these critical reading and writing skills. This comprehensive program focuses on two of the three R's: reading and writing. Areas of study differ for each student, depending on need. These include grammar, writing skills, reading comprehension, literature, spelling, vocabulary, and literary analysis. This program is designed for students beginning in grade 5.
	Writing		essay writing, essay composition
		Sitting in class, your son struggles to complete his writing assignment. He is having trouble connecting his ideas. His paper looks like a mess, with cross outs and erasures. He is embarrassed, frustrated, and worried. He knows that he will have to be able to do this kind of exercise in a few years for his college entrance exams.	Your son has organized his essay and has included specific details to prove his point. In the remaining minutes before the end of class, he proofreads his work, incorporating some challenging vocabulary he recently learned. Then he submits the assignment, confident that he has done his best work. All of that practice at Handle Associates has really paid off!
	Reading
	This is impossible! Was she serious? Your daughter asks herself how a teacher can assign so much reading homework. She is going to be up all night trying to read these two history chapters. Every other word seems foreign, and the questions at the end of the chapter are incomprehensible. It is so late that now she is fatigued and can't concentrate.		Your daughter is organized, and rested. She finished her reading homework early and is reviewing her answers and the chapter vocabulary. She feels very confident about the material. The chapter questions were thought-provoking and gave her an idea about a class discussion. Since improving her reading skills, she has really begun to enjoy studying history. She wonders what law school would be like.

	Writing and grammar are the most critical skills for academic and professional success. Students learn how to write effectively and express themselves confidently. Through a customized grammatical approach, they learn a variety of techniques for composing grammatically correct, well-organized sentences, paragraphs and essays. They also learn how to organize different types of expository writing, such as narrative, persuasive, comparative/contrast, analytical, and definition essays .
