AS LITERATURE

This complete, one-year high school English course uses classic movies on video
to introduce and study the elements of literary analysis. Student discussion and
composition questions are provided for each of 17 lessons, several of which can
also be used to supplement studies in grades 7 and 8. Also included are an
extensive teacher’s guide/answer key, plot summaries, glossary of literary
terms, and final exam. This course will not only give students the tools to
appreciate good books more fully, but will equip them with the ability to
discern underlying messages in movies rather than simply absorb them. 300+ pages!

NATURAL
SPELLER - $22
$17.60
Absolutely the only book you will ever need to teach spelling.
Teaching strategies include additional tips for use with the
learning disabled, and word lists are organized by both sight
and sound patterns. Build vocabulary skills with Latin and Greek
roots and word lists, and by using the spelling rules to add
prefixes and suffixes to root words. Choose from among the
suggested activities to include practice with grammar,
dictionary, and composition skills. Phonic, spelling, and
punctuation rules are listed for easy reference. Word lists are
divided by grade, 1 through 8. However, this method is easily
adapted for older students or adults who need remedial work.
Because of its multi-sensory and simplified approach to
spelling, and because each child can work at his own pace, this
program is ideal for students with learning disabilities. Placed
second in the 1999 Practical Homeschooling Reader Awards.

COMPREHENSIVE
COMPOSITION - $14
$11.20
Just one volume covers grades K-12. The outlined teaching
strategy encourages better writing through editing, allowing
students to develop at their own pace, improving with each
practice. Boredom is eliminated by choosing the type of
composition and an appealing topic from among those suggested to
suit the student's needs and interests. Topics include:
paragraphs, essays, reports, outlines, biographies, narratives,
letters, and short stories; persuasive, descriptive, expository
and creative writing; choosing and narrowing a topic; content
and structure skills; mechanics; and sample lessons. Use alone
(it has everything you need) or as a reference. Recommended by
reviewer Cathy Duffy as "one of the most concise yet
comprehensive books for teaching the writing process available
to home educators."
