Read-Alouds

Read 11 Read-Aloud books filled with pioneer adventure, colonial suspense and heartwarming courage. Spend many wonderful hours reading together this year. A sample of the titles include:

• • Walk the World's Rim, where you meet Europeans in Texas long before the Pilgrims landed.
  • The Sign of the Beaver, a Newbery Honor tale about a white boy rescued by an Indian chief.
  • The Witch of Blackbird Pond, a Newbery Medal book about family, justice, and courage. (And despite the title, there is no witch nor witchcraft in this story.

Readers

Level D Readers tie directly into the History content of the Package. These masterfully written, adventure-filled stories help cement the transition from "learning to read" to "reading to learn."

For children who are voracious readers or are on the older end of the 8-11 year age range, choose the Advanced package. You'll get all the Regular Readers plus eight more gripping books.

Language Arts

This complete Language Arts program with daily lesson plans helps your children develop excellent written communication skills.

The following OPTIONAL supplement Wordly Wise 3000, Book 3 & Teacher's Key is scheduled in the guide for your convenience but not required. (Not included in the All-Subject Package unless selected.)

Spelling

Spelling You See takes the approach that students spell correctly when words are imprinted on the visual memory. The design of the program allows students to develop spelling skills naturally, at their own pace, with the direction and encouragement of the instructor.

See the General Spelling Readiness Guidelines for more information on placing your student in the correct level.

Handwriting Without Tears ‚îÇ Cursive Handwriting

Science │

This engaging, Science course combines BookShark’s signature, literature-based approach with the Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS). Through captivating literature and experiments, our highly academic program utilizes NGSS crosscutting concepts to unify the study of science and engineering through common application.

Science D students will learn about forces and interactions, life systems and cycles, weather and climate, and engineering design.

The literature includes two insightful and engaging resource books. The Did You Know? Science book focuses on the needs of living things, the human body, and meteorology, while the Usborne Encyclopedia of Seas and Oceans book focuses on the ecosystems found in our ocean depths. Your students will read vivid picture books on fossils, magnets, genetic traits, and weather. The literature is complemented by an entertaining story about the Magic School Bus squeezing through power lines, a true story about wolves restoring an entire ecosystem, a captivating introduction to robots, and a biography on the electrical wizard Nikola Tesla.
