Well-Ordered Language: Level 4B – Student Edition

A one-semester course for grades 6 and up

In Book 4B, students will review and strengthen skills accumulated throughout the series and in Book 4A while also being introduced to several new concepts. Students will also continue to develop their understanding of diagramming sentences, visualizing the grammatical relationships within increasingly complex sentences. In Well-Ordered Language Level 4B (WOL 4B), students will learn about:

• Reflexive and intensive pronouns
• Adverbial clauses and phrases
• Indefinite pronouns
• Participial phrases
• Gerund phrases
• Infinitive phrases
• Verbal phrase review
• Noun clauses
• Sentence diagramming

Well-Ordered Language Level 4 is the fourth part in a 4-level series that demonstrates that grammar is an engaging study that appeals to students’ natural curiosity about words and language. The previous level, Well-Ordered Language Level 3, aided students in mastering predicate verbs, nominatives, and adjectives; prepositional phrases; personal pronouns; sensory linking verbs; indirect objects; interrogative pronouns; relative (adjectival) clauses; adverbial elements and clauses; reflexive pronouns; verbals; and types of sentences (simple, compound, complex, and compound-complex). Any student who has mastered these concepts should be prepared for Well-Ordered Language Level 4.
