Level 7 Language Arts FAQs, Helps, & Extras

Each child in your household will need his or her own set of course books. The Level 7 Answer Key and correlated books are non-consumable and can be shared. Some children may prefer to have their own set of correlated books.

A child is ready for Level 7 Language Arts when he or she reaches seventh grade age and is able to pass the placement test reading passage included in the Language Arts Placement Test. Please see our Placement Test for additional placement suggestions and details.

The online component is optional, but recommended. Engaging grammar explanation videos, art project videos, book discussions, online geography & grammar flashcards, and helpful Quick Reference Guide videos can all be accessed on courses.goodandbeautiful.com for free.

We strongly suggest that your student use a laptop or desktop for the online component because an external keyboard is required for certain exercises and the small screen size of tablets and phones will not be optimal.

The online component of the course can be accessed at courses.goodandbeautiful.com on any web browser. If you choose to use the web browser on your phone or tablet to complete the online components, please be aware that some exercises may not work properly without an external keyboard.

The course is designed for a child to complete a lesson 4 to 5 days a week. If 4 lessons a week are completed, the child will complete the course in 30 weeks.

Each lesson will take the child around 40 minutes, not including the Simply Spelling lesson or personal reading times.

Yes, your child is now ready for our High School Language Arts levels. However, you may want your child to complete our Level 8 Book Studies before starting high school courses for some of the following reasons:

He or she finished Level 7 in the middle of a year and wants something to work on before starting high school in the upcoming school year.

He or she is not interested in eventually completing high school courses earlier than 12th grade.

He or she is not quite ready for more intense reading or needs more review of principles before moving on to high school courses.

He or she is not old enough for books with more mature (but still appropriate) topics and some wholesome romance.

The Level 8 Book Studies are optional; students do not need to complete any Book Study between Level 7 and high school. They do not teach any new grammar, punctuation, or usage principles. Rather, the Book Studies review principles learned through Level 7. However, the Book Studies include new literature, spelling words, memorization, geography, art, handwriting, and writing assignments.

The instruction in Level 7 is comparable to 9th grade work.
