You want to personally be involved in your child’s education but need an alternative to all the
hours of planning that quality teaching requires. You want your child to get that all-important
foundation in reading, to develop character through good routines and habits, and to LOVE
learning—all with the confidence that comes from enrolling in an accredited program. Enjoy
the best of both worlds of homeschooling and a traditional Christian school classroom with
Abeka Academy! Our experienced, creative video teachers bring fresh ideas to make the first-
grade content come to life.
This year, your first grader will build a strong foundation in reading by mastering phonics rules
and beginning to read with confidence using a variety of fun, engaging readers. They’ll grow in
writing skills as they learn proper letter formation, sentence structure, and how to write simple
compositions. In Arithmetic, your child will work with number families, place value, time and
money, addition facts through 13, two-digit subtraction, and three-digit addition with carrying.
Science and Health introduce fascinating topics like animals, the five senses, and good habits
for staying healthy. Additionally, your child will garner a love a language learning with the
elementary Spanish lessons. With Abeka Academy’s virtual program, your child will enjoy the
structure and excitement of a classroom while you maintain the flexibility to homeschool at
your own pace.
As your child becomes acquainted with the students on the video, he will feel as though he is a
part of the class. The teacher will even pause to give “students watching” a turn to participate
in games, contests, and drills! While enjoying the fun and expanded learning of the classroom
experience, your child will have the benefit of your one-on-one guidance at home as you listen
to him read and recite, administer tests, and check his papers.
The prerecorded DVDs give you the flexibility to set your own daily schedule. The video lease
provides a full 12 months to complete the 170 lessons and 6 months to complete 85 lessons for
a semester. A video manual is provided to help you stay on track with the video teacher. Also,
record-keeping progress reports are included with both options to document your child’s
progress through the school year. Additionally, you will receive all necessary student textbooks
and assessments, teacher keys for easy grading, and cursive formation flashcards to support
handwriting development—everything you need for a smooth and successful school year.
