By providing your teen an excellent education in language studies, you are giving him vital skills for his life’s calling. The benefits of learning to communicate well cannot be overstated! The Abeka English program is known for excellence in its systematic study of grammar and composition, vocabulary, and inspiring literature.
· English Literature—Class discussion and essay questions over the great works by English authors will prepare your senior for college literature studies while building his analytic skills. The course is a chronological study from the Anglo-Saxon period starting with Beowulf to Pygmalion in the twentieth century. A highlight is the reading and discussion of Macbeth and Pilgrim’s Progress.
· Grammar and Composition—This year’s study provides practice with parallelism, clear and logical construction, exactness and vividness, agreement, and other habits of a good writer. Basic review over parts of speech, punctuation, and capitalization helps your teen stay sharp and ready for college work!
· Vocabulary, Poetry—Watch your teen’s vocabulary and thinking skills soar as he studies the origin of words; word analysis through prefixes, roots, and suffixes; and word analogies! In addition to the 144 vocabulary words, more than 1,000 synonyms, antonyms, and related words are part of this year’s study. Your teen will be inspired as he memorizes 10 poems, including Donne’s “Death Be Not Proud.”
