FREE Waldorf Homeschool Language Arts And Drawing Lesson

With our free Waldorf homeschool language arts and drawing lesson you can breath easier and relax. In Waldorf Education, we strive to bring every lesson in a meaningful context.  With language, this means that we can derive our language lessons out of stories and other imaginative sources that are already familiar to the child.  From the images that have lived in the child's imagination, we draw artistic pictures and then find symbols from within those pictures.  From the symbols, we find that the letters we use today have evolved.  Of course, this is not meant to re-create the actual historical process for how the modern English alphabet evolved. Instead, the student experiences a process that is more immediately connected to the stories they heard and imagined.  The result is that they feel more connected to these words and letters, when otherwise such symbology could feel random and abstract.

This lesson will present examples of how we create the pictures, words, and consonant letters from a story.  The rest of the lesson brings in the practice of writing and reading--yes, in that order for some children.  While it is completely possible to copy this lesson for your student(s), it is just as feasible to use this as an example that empower you to create your own lessons in the same ways. So you will have that option for yourself with every lesson.  As you observe how much challenge your child needs, the creation of lessons that are more or less advanced may become something you choose to do.
