The Features and Benefits

\n\n

Summaries of the concepts you will teach—You’ll save time because you won’t have to scan the textbook to find out what you will be covering; the summaries, at a glance, will tell you what’s ahead.
Notes to the instructor—The notes give background information, suggestions, and clarifications that help you teach the course material more effectively.
Discussion questions—The discussion questions help you to teach more effectively. They serve as starting points that prompt even more questions and further understanding of the concepts covered in each unit.
Games to reinforce concepts—The Home Instructor’s Guide contains many creative ideas that will help you to make your daily math lessons more fun. Some games involve dice or a deck of cards; others involve drawing with paper and pencil. None of the games are elaborate; rather, all of them are simple so that you can add a lot of value to your study without a huge investment of time.
Answer keys—The Home Instructor’s Guide would not be complete without the answer keys. The answer keys in the manual differ from the original answer keys in that they show not only the final answer, but the process by which one arrives at an answer.

Teaches students to recognize patterns of spelling based on the rules of the English language, but without all the complicated explanations.

\n\n

Some of the patterns covered: -ob, -ack, -eam, -ame, -ab, -ir, -ub. Representative words your children can expect to learn: nephew, packed, toaster, disgusted.

\n\n

Your children get immediate results with Sequential Spelling. Minimize study time and reduce test-taking anxiety! You ask your children to spell a simple root word or suffix, such as -in (from Volume 1), and, to help them understand the meaning, you use the word in a sentence. Once your students have attempted to spell the word and before you give the next word, you give them the correct spelling and let them correct their own work immediately.

\n\n

Each successive day you ask students to spell more words that contain -in, such as pin, sin, spin, skin, and twin. You add more patterns through a sequence based on research and the structure of English words - from the root word to expanded forms. In Sequential Spelling 1, students begin with -in on the first day and within five days they can spell beginning all on their own.

\n\n

Notice that you never ask your students to \"study\" more words, only to spell them. As they recognize more and more patterns and begin to spell words correctly that they've never seen before - all without \"studying\" - their confidence and spelling skills soar!

\n\n

If you have never used Sequential Spelling before, you're urged to begin with Volume 1 because, while your students might be \"ready\" to spell frightened (Volume 4), they really ought to know the patterns associated with spelling presidential (Volume 1). The truth is, the levels have absolutely nothing to do with grade levels per se.

Even though Meera, Gemma, and Karl live in the city, they've always wanted a farm of their own. And it looks as though their dream may happen sooner than they imagined when Meera discovers an abandoned railway station with grounds for grazing. There's just one problem: How can the kids persuade the city council not to turn the old site into a parking garage? The first in a series of fun-filled stories about Silver Street Farm, it's a tale with natural appeal for kids who love animals and have a spirit of adventure.

History and Geography

Our program utilizes The Story of Science by Joy Hakim as the core of our history and geography lessons. This three-book series focuses on three of the world’s most influential scientists: Aristotle, Newton, and Einstein. Each book combines historical perspectives with scientific explanations, allowing students to explore how each scientist contributed to our current understanding of matter, mechanics, and the universe.

To enhance the historical context, we complement this series with a selection of historical literature, including:

Bomb – A gripping account of the race between Germany and the United States to develop nuclear weapons during World War II.

This is the first year in which BookShark students no longer engage in Read Alouds with their parents, and the first year (since Level D) where Language Arts and Literature are not tied directly to the History curriculum. Given the academic depth of the History program, we have complemented it with classical literature and daily poetry readings.

The Language Arts program focuses on creative expression and vocabulary development, teaching students how to write a variety of compositions, including:

Narrative
Argumentative
Expository
Persuasive
Descriptive

Additionally, students will complete a 4-week research project and various reporting assignments similar to periodicals. Each writing assignment concludes with evaluation questions for parents to assess the quality of their child’s work.

Vocabulary Vine

Enhance your homeschool curriculum with Vocabulary Vine, a program designed to unlock the meanings of over 100,000 words by learning Latin and Greek roots. Understanding word roots is key to mastering vocabulary, as the majority of English words are built upon a foundation of Latin and Greek. By learning these roots and prefixes, students can easily decode the meaning of thousands of unfamiliar words.

Curriculum Overview

Vocabulary Vine helps students learn the essential Latin and Greek word roots, along with prefixes and suffixes, to build a strong vocabulary foundation. Each root comes with:

Study Root Spelling and Definition: Students learn the spelling, definition, and origin of each root.
Example Words: For each root, students study three familiar example words that use the root, helping them see the word in context.
Index Cards for Review: Students write the root's information on index cards for later review, reinforcing learning through repetition.

Why Choose Vocabulary Vine?

Vocabulary Vine uses a proven spiral learning method, which combines preview, study, and review to improve long-term retention. This method ensures that students keep building on what they’ve learned. For example, a student learns the root \"tele\" (Greek for \"far away\") and its example word \"telegraph,\" with plans to study \"graph\" later in the program. A reference number helps track when the word will appear again for reinforcement.

Key Features:

Comprehensive Word Root List: The program covers 108 key word parts that unlock the meaning of 100,000 words, significantly expanding students' vocabulary.
Weekly Learning Goals: Students only need to learn three roots a week, making it manageable to complete the entire 36-week curriculum.
Optional Learning Games: The program includes suggestions for twelve fun, zero-preparation learning games that keep the lessons engaging and enjoyable.

Unlock the Power of Vocabulary

With Vocabulary Vine, students can easily unlock the meanings of thousands of words, boosting both their vocabulary and confidence. This book offers a simple yet effective approach to mastering word roots and prefixes, helping your child become a more skilled reader and communicator.

Peter Meineck and Paul Woodruff's collaboration on this new translation combines the strengths that have recently distinguished both as translators of Greek tragedy: expert knowledge of the Greek and of the needs of the teaching classicist, intimate knowledge of theatre, and an excellent ear for the spoken word.

The author tells a story reflective of the experiences shared by many Cambodians who lived through the Vietnam War. The fascinating firsthand account vividly describes events during this time in history: her life prior to Vietnamese occupancy in the capital city of Phnom Penh; several attempts by her family to flee the concentration camps; to finally leaving for America and finding a new life, while still searching for her now-separated family. The gripping story, both sad and courageous, reflects on the human ability to endure, and ultimately, persevere toward a better life.

Miraculously preserved on clay tablets dating back as much as four thousand years, the poem of Gilgamesh, king of Uruk, is the world's oldest epic, predating Homer by many centuries.

Alongside its themes of family, friendship and the duties of kings, the Epic of Gilgamesh is, above all, about mankind's struggle with the fear of death.

A terrifying account of the Nazi death camp horror that turns a young Jewish boy into an agonized witness to the death of his family...the death of his innocence...and the death of his God. Penetrating and powerful, as personal as The Diary Of Anne Frank, Night by author Elie Wiesel awakens the shocking memory of evil at its absolute and carries with it the unforgettable message that this horror must never be allowed to happen again.

Things Fall Apart tells two intertwining stories, both centering on Okonkwo, a \"strong man\" of an Ibo village in Nigeria. The first, a powerful fable of the immemorial conflict between the individual and society, traces Okonkwo's fall from grace with the tribal world. The second, as modern as the first is ancient, concerns the clash of cultures and the destruction of Okonkwo's world with the arrival of aggressive European missionaries. These perfectly harmonized twin dramas are informed by an awareness capable of encompassing at once the life of nature, human history, and the mysterious compulsions of the soul.

A sweeping tale of abduction, battle, and courtship played out in a universe of deities and demons, The Ramayana is familiar to virtually every Indian. Although the Sanskrit original was composed by Valmiki around the fourth century BCE, poets have produced countless versions in different languages. Here, drawing on the work of an eleventh-century poet called Kamban, Narayan employs the skills of a master novelist to re-create the excitement he found in the original. A luminous saga made accessible to new generations of readers, The Ramayana can be enjoyed for its spiritual wisdom, or as a thrilling tale of ancient conflict.

The White House Is Burning: August 24, 1814 by Jane Sutcliffe

Enhance your homeschool literature with this gripping historical account of the burning of the White House during the War of 1812. Told through the eyes of those who lived it—including First Lady Dolley Madison, a British officer, and a nine-year-old enslaved boy—this “biography of a single day” brings American history to life in a powerful, personal way.

On August 24, 1814, the early morning alarm signaled the British advance on Washington, D.C. By nightfall, flames engulfed the Capitol and the White House. This engaging narrative captures the dramatic events of the day using vivid, first-person accounts and rich detail.

This gripping, fast-paced book tells the dramatic story of the epic 1839 voyage of the schooner Amistad and her cargo of Africans bound for slavery in the New World.

Under the leadership of Cinque, a young African farmer, the Africans revolt and seize the ship. They start for home, but instead of reaching Africa, they wind up in New England.

The story of these events and the resulting trial of the captured Africans was front-page news at the time. Were they rebellious slaves and mutineers — \"property\" that must rightfully be returned to its owners — or honest men and women trying to regain their freedom?

Peacemaker by Joseph Bruchac

Learning a foreign language is so fun and easy, your whole family can enjoy the experience!

Rosetta Stone Homeschool is designed to help your child achieve success. Rosetta Stone's natural language learning approach promotes long-term retention and correct pronunciation all without forced memorization and drill.

\r\n

Use Rosetta Stone with students ages 5 and up. While certain portions of Rosetta Stone can be used with younger students, some features require your student to be able to read.

\r\n

What's included in this subscription?

\r\n

An immersion method that works. Rosetta Stone teaches language the natural way ‚Äì no translation required.
The most advanced speech technology. TruAccent¬Æ speech-recognition technology listens, analyzes, and corrects your child's speech throughout the learning process.
Enhanced reporting and monitoring tools. Keep your child on track with printable reports and lesson progress data.
Access across devices and offline. Your child can learn from a computer, tablet, or mobile phone. When an internet connection isn't available, you can easily download lessons with the Audio Companion feature.

Immersion

Instead of starting with memorizing word conjugations ‚Äì as I did while learning Spanish in high school ‚Äì Rosetta Stone takes you on a journey of vocabulary discovery. As you naturally learn the words, you begin to learn the structure of the language (the grammar) in a painless way. This is what children do, too. In fact, when children make mistakes in grammar, it's often because English is not following the \"rule\" they learned by simply absorbing the language. You will learn to think in your new language because you are linking new words to ideas, not English. You will connect the concept to the word. This is huge because going through the translation of remembering what word goes with English and translating is much harder than simply linking \"√ê¬¥√ê¬µ√ê¬≤√ë∆í√ëÀÜ√ê¬∫√ê¬∞\" (devushka) to the idea of a girl.

TruAccent¬Æ

One of the hardest aspects of learning a new language as a homeschooler is that you rarely have another person around to practice. This is where Rosetta Stone's technology shines. You can practice with your device! Learn how to properly pronounce words with a system that listens and corrects your pronunciation.

Reporting

How is your student doing? How do you turn their process into a report required by your State? It's easy with the built-in reporting and monitoring tools you have as a parent.

Offline Mode

In the past, Rosetta Stone was trapped on your computer that had a CD-ROM drive. No more. Take your foreign language studies wherever you go on whatever device you have. Going somewhere without a reliable internet connection? No problem! Simply download your lessons ahead of time.

Choose from 24 languages and add foreign language to your homeschool lineup today.

Arabic, Chinese (Mandarin), Dutch, English (American), English (British), Filipino (Tagalog), French, German, Greek, Hebrew, Hindi, Irish, Italia, Japanese, Korean, Persian (Farsi), Polish, Portuguese (Brazil), Russian, Spanish (Latin American), Spanish (Spain), Swedish, Turkish, Vietnamese
