Features

• Language Arts
   Reading—Reading from classics, modern stories, and poetry gives your child insight into his world and presents him with Christian ideals and spiritual values. Watch their reading comprehension and vocabulary take a leap with the added emphasis on reading speed and comprehension skills.
   Grammar and Composition—You will be thrilled to see your fifth graders become more comfortable with correct grammar in conversation and composition.
   Spelling, Vocabulary, and Poetry—A straightforward teach/practice/test approach makes spelling “second nature” to your young writers. They will also learn to spell, define, and use 5–10 vocabulary words in each lesson. And what an accomplishment when they can recite from memory all 6 poems!
   Penmanship—Daily penmanship practice begins with a review of letter formation and then graduates into creative writing and spelling entries.
• Arithmetic—Learning fractions becomes a positive experience because of clear instruction and extensive practice. As in the other skills subjects, the Abeka program ensures repetition and maintenance of basic skills and builds a foundation of understanding that is necessary for more abstract concepts taught later.
• Science/Health—Fifth graders love the emphasis on nature studies and God’s creative genius in science. In the 7-week Health course, they learn how to keep their bodies healthy.
• History—Hundreds of colorful visuals and a lively narrative writing style may make the story of America’s history your child’s favorite class! Told from a Christian perspective and combined with enjoyable geography and map activities.
