Newberry Academy

Language Curriculum

Language curriculum from Kindergarten through 12th Grade designed to strengthen reading, phonics, spelling, vocabulary, grammar, writing, comprehension, analysis, and clear communication.

Strong Readers. Clear Writers. Confident Communicators.

Newberry Academy Language builds skills step by step, beginning with foundational reading and language development and progressing into more advanced writing, grammar, literature, vocabulary, and analysis.

Students are taught concepts clearly before moving into practice, application, review, and independent work.

A Focused Approach for Grades 1–3

Grades 1–3 use two separate Language books: Reading & Phonics and Spelling & Vocabulary.

Families can purchase either course individually or use both together for a fuller Language program.
