Lingua Mater Americana is intended for Logic level students and an excellent compliment to our our Year Four: American History. It includes 36 weeks of lessons with a nine-week short story unit that includes the complete text of six short stories. It continues the method begun in Lingua Mater of integrating grammar exercises with response to literature and art and using that as a springboard to good writing. Every piece of literature or art featured is by an American author or painter, such as Mark Twain, Nathaniel Hawthorn, Winslow Homer, John Singer Sargent.

Lingua Mater Americana is done in the same style as Lingua Mater: Language Lessons from Literature

All selections are by American authors, including some contemporary (homeschool moms, Dawn Hanigan and Suchi Myjak as well as Elaine Woodfield).
