“The Abeka curriculum is known for its successful early reading program, developed and refined for nearly 20 years before its publication. It is an intensive (or synthetic) phonics approach (learning letter names, sounds, blends, words) with the focus first on learning to read (K–2) and then on reading to learn. Because of its success, only slight changes have been made in the program over the years, despite the various reading reforms circulating in the world of education.” – Abeka Website

All Things Fun and Fascinating
Publisher/Author
Memoria Press
Other Information
Level: k-6
Description
“What do crows, peacocks, and bird nest soup have in common? They’re just a few of the fun and fascinating things that your student will WANT to write about. Within its 24 lessons (a year’s worth) it covers TWSS Units 1-7 (taking notes, summarizing narrative stories, writing from pictures, mini-research report, and creative writing) and several stylististic elements. Teacher prep is non-existent – you only need to read through the lessons with your student and be prepared to be “wowed” by their writing (and, of course, do a little evaluating). Although your student will want to make a final portfolio copy of their writing assignments, all the preliminary work – outlines, brainstorming charts, along with checklists – are provided in the consumable, 159-page spiral-bound text.” – Rainbow Resource

Publisher/Author
Apologia Press
Other Information
Level: All
Description
“The second edition of Around the World in 180 Days is a geography and history program covering the history, geography, and culture of every continent. And yet this is not a textbook. It’s a series of questions that the student must research in order to answer. Plenty of resources are suggested to help students conduct their research, and the teacher’s edition provides all the answers.” – Apologia

Bible Heroes
Publisher/Author
Veritas Press
Other Information
Level: k-3
Description
“Now there’s no reason to wait until your student is in 3rd grade. Bible Heroes is an excellent language arts bridge from IEW’s Primary Arts of Language to their theme-based writing lessons. Or you might decide to use it as a new entry point for the IEW program (as you finish your favorite phonics/reading program). Either way, I think you will be very pleased with what this program supplies – lessons that not only provide instruction in writing with structure and style (as the name implies), but also introductory grammar and Bible. The 27 lessons cover IEW Unit 1 (two lessons teaching Key Word Outlines), Unit 2 (seven lessons on Writing from KWOs), Unit 3 (twelve lessons on Summarizing Narrative Stories), Unit 4 (three lessons on Summarizing References), Unit 5 (three lessons on Writing From Pictures), and Unit 7 (one lesson on Creative Writing) The approach is solidly multi-sensory. Lessons include verbal and written activities as well as games for reinforcement and all source material is taken from the Bible. Although the target audience for this course is 1st-2nd grade, material can be adapted for up to 5th grade.” – Rainbow Resource
