Features

• English
  • Literature—Stories about people—pioneers, patriots, professional athletes, etc.—entertain, inspire, and teach young people. Great storytellers like Kipling, Irving, and Bunyan will develop your child’s vocabulary and reading comprehension. Discussion and essay questions build his thinking skills.
  • Grammar and Composition—A solid foundation in traditional grammar teaches your child how language works and develops his logical thinking. A variety of writing applications ensure that his communication skills are strengthened.
  • Vocabulary, Spelling, Poetry—Knowing the best word is often what distinguishes the best communicators. The 20 weekly spelling words and 10 vocabulary words from literature will take your child one step closer toward that goal.
• Pre-Algebra—Bridge the gap between basic arithmetic and a more advance study of mathematics with introductions to multiplying and dividing polynomials, complementary and supplementary angles, buying stocks and bonds, algebraic word problems, and more.
• Science— This textbook guides your child through a study of geology, oceanography, meteorology, astronomy, and environmental science. Complete with chapter reviews, interesting pictures, and clear diagrams, your child will finish 8th grade science with a detailed understanding of earth and space science.
• History—Your child will be inspired as he studies the faith, patriotism, and moral conviction of many great Americans in the narrative style of the text and many illustrations, maps, and photographs that invite him to explore the past and learn about the personalities and events that shaped the American character.
