ENGLISH AND WRITING
Grade 5

Do you have a student who likes to read? Is he/she ready to start learning how to write a composition? Whether your student likes to read or not, this consumable textbook is a must.

Writing and grammar are two indispensable tools for the English student. Learning grammar alone will not teach a student how to write; neither will learning writing alone teach a student how to write well. To learn writing well, a student must not only have the writing and grammar lessons combined, but he/she must concentrate on only one type of composition until it is mastered.

This course concentrates on teaching how to successfully write book reports in a step-by-step format that makes any reading adventure become a successful writing adventure. The hands-on book contains five units of three chapters each. Each unit begins with a chapter of Ethics Skills teaching your student how to choose a scripturally honoring book to read. After scriptural values are studied, they are recorded on worksheets and in a quick reference table for your student to refer to when choosing the books he/she will read.

Next, each unit contains a Writing Skills chapter with easy-to-follow instructions that teach how to write a book report from the opening to the closing paragraph. These chapters gradually introduce new concepts that facilitate the growth and maturation of writing skills.

The third chapter in each unit is full of Grammar Skills and PRACTICE exercises. Your student is taught each grammar rule which he/she then practices and is instructed to apply to current and future writing.

Next, convenient preprinted forms for collecting data and writing a final book report are included. These helpful study pages aid in organization and provide a keepsake record of each writing success. Additionally, the final book report forms contain border frames that are a delight for every student to color, making each report a masterpiece!

    Do you have a budding writer or story teller? Would you like to see the quality and beauty of your student's writing improve? Our creative writing course teaches your student not only how to write better sentences and paragraphs with more descriptive words, but also how to write a complete story with character dialog and descriptions of scenery. This consumable textbook will improve the quality of any type of writing!

    The Teacher's manual is written in a scripted format that you read as you teach, just like reading the part of a character in a play. This simple method even tells you what to write on the chalkboard and when to expect a response from your student.

    The student textbook is a comprehensive, hands-on course that skillfully guides your student through the learning the writing process. The hands-on book contains units of three chapters each. Each unit begins with a chapter of Ethics Skills teaching your student how to write scripturally honoring stories.

    Next, each unit contains a Writing Skills chapter with easy-to-follow instructions that gradually introduce new concepts to facilitate the growth and maturation of writing skills. These lessons begin with writing manageable paragraphs, and then gradually build to a multipage story. As your student learns more, more writing is required. Beginning lessons focus on describing words (adjectives): how to use them and where to find them. Middle lessons teach about conversation in a story: how to write and punctuate. Final lessons teach about purpose and plot as well as how to combine everything that is learned into a story.

    The third chapter in each unit is full of Grammar Skills and PRACTICE exercises. Your student is taught each grammar rule which he/she then practices and is instructed to apply to current and future writing.

    ENGLISH LITERATURE AND WRITING
    Grade 9

    Valuable...role models for truth!
    Balanced...selections for both young men and women!
    Touching...essays, stories, poetry, and complete books!

    Great values, endearing characters, and true scriptural adherence are what you will find in the pages of this course! From the first page to the last, your student will be immersed in uplifting and encouraging literature that continues to be timely for each generation over the ages. Cherished selections from noted authors, such as Timothy Dwight, John Greenleaf Whittier, Joseph Scriven, William Thayer, John Bunyan, Louisa May Alcott, and more, are included for your student's learning experience. While reading these selections, your student will laugh, cry, sigh, and travel to distant places and times as the insights and adventures of different lives and characters unfold before him/her.

    In this first edition we present to your student various books, stories, and poetry that breathe truth into your student's life. Selections are chosen from born-again authors who valued writing about the walk of faith, justice, holiness, ethics, and morality. The text also encourages your student to develop perseverance in their personality while the reading instills lasting values and affords comfort. The authors' lives, as well as the content of each selection, are discussed from a Christian perspective.

    This course will cause your student to sharpen their skills of discernment of what "literature adherent to Scripture" really means. You can also be confident that your student will be pointed toward selecting and reading good Christian literature.

    The workbook is broken down into daily assignments corresponding to the text of each literary selection. Principles for maximum learning are included. For instance, educational studies show that most people will skip over words that they do not know when reading. In our workbook, your student is required to look up each new vocabulary word in the dictionary, then formulate a definition and record it in the workbook before they read each daily selection. This process causes your student to increase not only their vocabulary knowledge, but also their retention and reading comprehension.

    The question sections enhance your student's reading comprehension by asking a variety of questions about each selection. These sections also include important Scripture studies pertaining to the daily text, as well as thought-provoking attention to important details in the text. Questions that cause your student to stretch and think a little more about what they have read are also included.

    The writing assignments involve essays, book reports, and poems. Students are guided to write more mature essays and book reports. Adequate instructions and grammar exercises are included to help them with this important aspect of their English training.

    This course comes complete with textbook, workbook, answers, grading charts, and daily lesson plans for one low price!
