About
First Language Lessons is a four-level grammar program written by Jessie Wise and published by Well-Trained Mind Press. The series uses short, fully scripted parent-led lessons that combine memorization of grammar definitions, oral narration, picture study, copywork, and simple diagramming. Levels 1 and 2 are contained in a single hardcover teacher book; levels 3 and 4 pair a teacher guide with a student workbook. The program is the classical-tradition entry point for the publisher's later Grammar for the Well-Trained Mind high school series and is commonly paired with Writing With Ease.
