Daily 6-Trait Writing Help your child develop writing skills using daily lessons that fit into every language arts program. Are you familiar with trait writing? Trait-based writing is an impressive method educators have developed to determine if a child's writing is skilled or not. The six traits or characteristics that shape quality writing are content; organization; word choice; sentence fluency; voice, and conventions, including grammar, spelling, and mechanics. It may sound ominous, but Daily 6-Trait Writing has made it effortless. With 125 dynamic writing lessons, Daily 6-Trait Writing will provide your child with practice and instruction concerning all the skills essential to becoming a competent writer. Research proves that a solid understanding of the six traits of writing improves a child's ability to write successfully. Just fifteen minutes or less a day is all it will take. Daily 6-Trait Writing correlates to educators' state standards. Twenty-five weeks of instruction cover the following trait-based writing skills: Ideas Week 1: Choose a Topic Week 2: Make Your Topic Better Week 3: Add Details Week 4: Choose Better Details Week 5: Review Organization Week 1: Beginning, Middle, and End Week 2: Put Things in the Right Order Week 3: Write a Complete Ending Week 4: Group by How Things Are the Same or Different Week 5: Review Word Choice Week 1: Use Action Words Week 2: Use Words That Describe Week 3: Use Words That Tell How You Feel Week 4: Use Just the Right Word Week 5: Review Sentence Fluency Week 1: Write a Sentence Week 2: Write a Sentence with Describing Words Week 3: Write Longer Sentences Week 4: Connect Your Ideas Week 5: Review Voice Week 1: Tell How You Feel Week 2: Write How You Feel Week 3: Create a Mood Week 4: Use Rhyme Week 5: Review Features Flip through the first twenty pages of Daily 6-Trait Writing Grade 1 Publisher's Information Number of Pages: 160 Format: Paperback Publisher: Evan-Moor Educational Publishers Made In: USA Edition/Copyright: 2008 ISBN: 9781596732865 Consumable: Yes Reproducible: Yes Faith-Based: No

Daily 6-Trait Writing Grade 1

Math-U-See Alpha is typically a good fit for a student entering first grade; to find the Math-U-See level that best fits your child you can try the placement test here. Math-U-See Alpha Alpha focuses on building a solid foundation for single-digit addition and subtraction concepts. It uses systematic teaching strategies to help your student commit addition and subtraction facts to memory. About Math-U-See Curriculum For more than 20 years, Math-U-See's renowned mastery-based, multi-sensory, student-paced program has been the answer for countless families. Math-U-See is a comprehensive K-12 math curriculum that uses manipulatives to illustrate and teach the concepts. If you regularly experience tears from your child whenever new mathematical topics are introduced, you need Math-U-See's systematic, precept-upon-precept math program. This manipulative-based curriculum ensures your children will be able to fully understand each mathematical concept before moving on to another one. Math-U-See is mastery-oriented, clear, to the point, and compelling with simple, uncluttered pages. In Math-U-See, new ideas are introduced step by step logically. At the same time, concepts that have been mastered are reviewed periodically. The lessons are short, and there are many opportunities for multi-sensory experiences using videos and manipulatives. Math-U-See books are organized into levels, not grades, so students can proceed at their own pace as they master concepts. This is particularly helpful for the child that is not performing at grade level but would rather not have that be a daily reminder. Student workbooks are softcover, and the pages are perforated and punched so they can be removed, completed, and placed in binders if you choose. Occasional fun exercises, like dot-to-dots and crossword puzzles, have been incorporated into the student workbooks. Student workbook pages are consumable, so each child will need their own copy. Instruction manuals include complete answer keys with solutions for all problems. This is more a necessity at the upper levels than the lower ones. The Math-U-See Manipulatives are more than a supplement. They are an integral part of the curriculum. Used from the Primer through Algebra 1 levels, the manipulatives build each concept from place value through polynomials through Integer Blocks, Fraction Overlays, and Algebra/Decimal Inserts. Math-U-See does require a fair amount of parental involvement, especially in the younger grades. They have bent over backwards to make the lesson planning as painless as possible. But to get the most out of Math-U-See, parents should be prepared to plan and not start the lessons unprepared. Math-U-See's teacher guide and supplemental DVD will teach you, the parent, more than just how to solve a math problem. They also show why the problem is solved in this manner and when to apply the concept. Each lesson is demonstrated on the DVDs with such kind-hearted enthusiasm. I now understand why children line up at homeschool conferences to give the instructor, Steve Demme, a hug. DVDs can be played on a DVD player or computer; however, Windows 10 users will need to download a separate video player. Math-U-See is laid out with step-by-step procedures for introducing, practicing, mastering, and reviewing concepts. How do you know when your child has 'mastered' a math concept? Not just when he gets the answers right but when he can teach the concept back to you, especially if he can do so with a word problem. Math-U-See will show you how. So, if you want to give your child a rock-solid mathematical foundation, if your child is shaky on the basics, or just looking for a no-frills, common-sense program, you will be pleased with Math-U-See. Note: Math-U-See manipulative comes in a standard cardboard box with a lightweight plastic tray. These do not hold up well, either in shipment or daily life, so we'd suggest considering a different long-term storage option, such as a bin or bag. Our crew always does their best, but unfortunately, we cannot guarantee that the packaging will arrive in good condition. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- What Is Taught in the Alpha Level?

This incredible resource includes extensive reading lists and cross-references to the most common illustrated encyclopedias! Reproducible. Requires The Story of the World: Volume I book. This comprehensive activity book contains: Review questions and answers Sample narrations Maps and geography activities Coloring pages Suggested literature History readings Projects for 1st-4th graders from each chapter in The Story of the World (can be adapted for 5th-6th graders) About the Story of the World Series: This captivating read-aloud series will introduce your children to the world's great history presented chronologically from the beginning of time. Each volume of The Story of the World includes the details of battles, kingdoms, cultures, and customs from every continent and major people group. It is woven together into stories that children will find mesmerizing. With short chapters, many less than seven pages, The Story of the World presents history in small, easily-digestible chunks. Of particular appeal to children will be the occasional story about a hypothetical child in the culture of that time and popular fictional stories. The Story of the World is intended to be a read-aloud program for first through sixth grade, but it can work equally well as independent reading by an older child. Don't restrict your scope of history to just American history. These are what we consider the best world history books for this age group. If you have ever found history dull and humdrum, these books might just change that opinion! The Activity Book offers parents and teachers a complete history curriculum for use with The Story of the World. In addition to extensive reading lists and cross-references to the most common illustrated encyclopedias, the Activity Book contains comprehension questions, sample narrations, maps, coloring pages, and activities for each chapter in The Story of the World. Children and parent-teachers love the activities, ranging from coloring pages and games to mummifying a chicken! Note: Please do not consider this series a Providential view of history that recognizes God's hand in history. It is a history text that attempts to include all significant historical and cultural accounts. If you are a conservative Christian, you may want to opt out of a couple of activities. And where you find details with Biblical references that are inaccurate because of sparseness, use this opportunity to interject more of His Story. These minor issues are easily addressed and shouldn't keep you from this excellent program. Publisher Description Don’t just read about history – experience it!

Level 2: All About Reading Level 2 picks up from where your student left off in Level 1, adding new skills systematically. Level 2 teaches 22 new phonograms or sounds, including EE, OY, OW, and others. Many hands-on activities continue to make learning and review engaging for students, while the 27 integrated, decodable short stories with comprehension activities take Level 2 above and beyond. From Fox’s stunts in the first chapter to the overenthusiastic work of Rawhide, the ranch dog, parents and children will enjoy the funny, wholesome stories and illustrations. All About Reading All About Reading (AAR) is the multisensory, mastery-based program you’ve heard about. Suitable for all ages and with activities that benefit all learning styles, AAR teaches phonics, decoding, fluency, and comprehension in a fun and engaging way. Moving at a gentler pace than other more intense reading programs, with AAR, only one new concept is taught at a time. Their precept-upon-precept program works with all kids, and AAR’s built-in review system helps the learning stick. Based on the Orton-Gillingham Approach, 97% of English words can be learned according to phonetic rules, leaving only 3% as sight words. The progressive introduction of letters introduces vowels with consonants in a way that will allow your child to begin reading almost immediately. We particularly like how AAR integrates phonics instruction and phonics readers into a single comprehensive program, so they correlate directly with each other. And you will be thrilled to know that no prior training is needed. AAR has lightly scripted and illustrated “open and go” lessons that make your job easy and stress-free. Lessons are taught in short, manageable chunks. The author recommends students spend no more than 20 minutes a day learning to read, plus another 20 listening to a read-aloud. The student activity books add variety to the lessons and provide additional support. The phonetic readers are the best we have ever seen – beautifully illustrated hardcover books with finely detailed full-color drawings. The complete AAR program consists of five levels, from PreK through third grade. Our Level 2 Deluxe (with Tiles) Set: The All About Reading Level 2 Deluxe kit is our recommended set. It is the All About Reading system containing all the components required for teaching Level 2 with letter tiles and magnets added, as well as a sturdy reading tote bag. These physical letter tiles and magnets can take the place of the Letter Tiles app that we recommend for users of our app-dependent kit. For families who prefer a less technological, more tactile approach, the AAR Level 2 with Tiles Set may be the perfect choice. Find more information and comparisons below. The All About Reading Level 2 Deluxe includes the Level 2 Teacher's Manual, Student Packet with Activity Book, two readers, the Reader Divider Cards, and the Reading Review Box, plus Letter Tiles, Magnets, Tote Bag, and the supplementary Phonograms Sounds App. You may also want to add a magnetic whiteboard, which is recommended but not required. Our Level 2 App-Dependent Set: The All About Reading Level 2 App-Dependent Set contains all the essential books and review box required for teaching Level 2, but no Letter Tiles. Instead, your family will purchase the Letter Tiles app, available for tablets on various app stores. The Letter Tiles app is an innovative, phenomenally effective, and incredibly convenient way to implement hands-on learning and practice with All About Reading. Find more information and comparisons below. The Level 2 App-Dependent Set includes the Level 2 Teacher's Manual, Student Packet with Activity Book, two readers, the Reader Divider Cards, and the Reading Review Box. You’ll also need to add the Letter Tiles app, available on iTunes, Google Play, and the Kindle app store. App-Based vs. Magnetic Tiles For our Timberdoodle curriculum kits, we’ve opted for the Deluxe Set that includes the Letter Tiles. This provides the hands-on aspect of real tiles, and equips you to teach with no requirement of access to a tablet or additional purchase of an app. However, since the Letter Tiles app allows for incredible ease of use and storage, if convenience is your top priority, the App-Dependent Kit may be the choice for you. Here is a brief comparison of the two options: With the physical letter tiles (Deluxe): No tablet is required to complete the lessons No additional purchase of an app is required Larger tiles are easy to read It's easy to incorporate hands-on alphabetizing practice Tricky word parts can be highlighted with markers Timeless, traditional, and tactile educational tool No screen time! With the Letter Tiles app (required for the App-Dependent Kit): It is immediately prepared for any lesson, and automatically organizes itself No more worries about lost letter tiles No need for a whiteboard It's easy to capitalize words You can hear the sounds of the phonograms seamlessly as you teach Lessons are easy to teach "on the go" Need to switch between students? No problem! Simply select your current lesson in All About Reading and you're ready to begin. Features Newer Version - Color Edition!

What will my student learn in Level 2? Your student will learn exciting new concepts, including three-letter blends, the jobs of Silent E, new phonograms, and methods for decoding multisyllable words – and continue to establish a firm foundation for a lifetime of learning. Every component of reading is taught: decoding (phonics and structural analysis), vocabulary, fluency, and comprehension. Below is a sampling in each area. Decoding (Phonics) Learn new phonograms WH, EE, ER, AR, OR, ED, OY, OI, AW, AU, OW, and OU to read words such as whale, sheep, herd, farm, horn, toy, boil, saw, haul, flower, and found; read words with long I or O before two consonants as in find and gold; read words with soft C or G as in race or gem, and learn the first four jobs of Silent E Decoding (Structural Analysis) Learn to identify base words, read contractions such as “they’ll”, learn syllable division rules for reading multisyllable words, and read words with past tense ending ed, as in wanted, snowed, and chipped Vocabulary Discuss new words in the context of the story and one’s own life, and understand homophones, synonyms, and antonyms. Fluency Read with accuracy, meaningful expression, and natural phrasing. Comprehension Connect text to one's own experiences, make predictions, identify the main character, compare and contrast main characters, discuss character motivation and main conflict, skim for specific information, and make inferences from the text.

Famous Figures of Ancient Times If you have multiple children, you no doubt have noticed the unique inclinations of each one. Our middle child lived for art. Her most prized possessions were a tape dispenser, scissors, and endless amounts of paper. Famous Figures of Ancient Times was made for such a child. While you read historical accounts aloud, your avid artist can color the detailed figures of twenty people who shaped history, such as Julius Caesar, Alexander the Great, Hannibal, his elephant, and others. Colorful characters are printed on heavy cardstock with perforated pages for trouble-free removal. Cut out the pieces, punch holes where directed, and attach standard fasteners to allow their arms and legs to move and their swords and shields to flash. Matching pre-colored action figures are also included for the meticulous child who wants to color it exactly right. "Great for kids who like crafts: Detailed, colored figures from history, from Narmer to Augustine, to cut out and assemble. The figures are on cardstock with moveable joints. Good for decorating timelines or just for fun." — Susan Wise Bauer and Jessie Wise, authors of The Story of the World Features Figures Include: Narmer Khufu Sargon the Great Hammurabi Moses King David Ashurbanipal Nebuchadnezzar II Cyrus the Great A Greek Hoplite Qin Shi Huangdi Aristotle Alexander the Great Hannibal Hannibal's Elephant Julius Caesar Caesar Augustus Jesus Constantine Augustine Publisher's Information Author: Cathy Diez-Luckie Number of Pages: 96 Format: Paperback Publisher: Figures in Motion Edition: 2nd Edition, now includes 21 figures Year of Publication: 2009 Made In: China ISBN: 9780981856605 Age Recommendation: 9-12 years Consumable: Yes Reproducible: No Faith-Based: No. Covers some historical figures that have religious as well as secular significance, but remains historical rather than inspirational.
