[The Well-Trained Mind] “In the elementary grades, we suggest that you prioritize reading, writing, grammar, and math.” (page 25) ”In a way, grammar of language is a foundation on which all other subjects rest. Until a student reads without difficulty, he can’t absorb the grammar of history, literature, or science; until a student writes with ease, he can’t express his growing mastery of this material.” [Waldorf] Teaching academic subjects through movement, rhythm and art; fostering a sense of imagination and liveliness in children; teaching with economy; understanding and teaching in accordance with the view of the child as a three-fold human being; fostering a sense of love throughout these early grades and a natural respect of adult authority. Grammar in a traditional German Waldorf school was taught rather early (second grade) as it is nearly impossible to write in German without the grammar piece.
