We are more relaxed in all our subjects, secular language arts curriculum included. We have used two different curricula throughout our homeschooling journey, but there are many more, and there are some great apps available to use as well.

Secular Language Arts Curriculum
I think before we confuse anyone we should get a few things straight, like what is secular curriculum, and what is language arts.
Secular curriculum only discusses religious beliefs from an anthropological perspective. It is not faith-neutral (this becomes important especially when discussing science and history curricula). It does not posit biblical/religious beliefs as historical fact.
Language arts curriculum is the study of grammar, composition, spelling, and (sometimes) public speaking, typically taught as a single subject.
What is Secular Language Arts Curriculum?
Secular language art curriculum is curriculum, textbooks, workbooks/sheets, and other materials that do not contain religious material.
Secular Language Arts Curriculum for You
We have used BookShark language arts levels, k, 2 and 2 advanced. The program we are using, and LOVING now is Grammar Galaxy. You have the opinion of printed books, or digital with Grammar Galaxy, and she is coming out with audiobooks for the lower levels which is great for giving your child more independence and yourself some more time.
