We will be using Progeny Press curriculum, & possibly Total Language Plus curriculum. Both of these are Christian-based literature curriculum.
Most of the focus will be on literature, reading comprehension, & discussing the novels in class. There will be weekly reading assignments, with questions to answer and vocabulary words from the stories.We will be going over various literature terminology and doing some writing. Please be aware this is not a writing or grammar class. There is no textbook to buy. I’ll be doing bulk orders for the books ($2 to $4 each) that you can buy from me, or feel free to bring your own book if you have it already. I will provide the worksheets each week for homework, so there is a copy fee.
Please contact me if you have any questions. I want the students to have fun learning and to enjoy reading. Book titles might change if most of the class has already read one of them. I’ll give advance notice of each book we will be reading ahead of time, & have a schedule/list in August before school starts.
