Fifth graders are eager to learn all about their world and their place in it. As your fifth grader
begins to think more critically and connect concepts across subjects, Abeka's engaging
curriculum, built on a solid biblical worldview, will keep them captivated as they learn
fascinating facts and improve reading comprehension, composition skills, and much more!
The Grade 5 Parent Kit contains all essential textbooks and coordinated materials,
including assessments, for an entire year of schooling in language arts, arithmetic, science,
health, history, and art. Combine this kit with the Grade 5 Child Kit, and you can
confidently equip your child for academic success and character growth as they develop into confident, capable learners.
Features
• Language Arts
Reading—Reading from classics, modern stories, and poetry gives your student insight
into his world and presents him with biblical truths and spiritual values. Watch his
reading comprehension and vocabulary take a leap with the 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 and decimals becomes a positive experience because of
clear instruction and extensive practice. As in the other skills subjects, the Abeka
program ensures spiral review and proficiency in 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, map skills, and a lively narrative writing style
may make the story of Eastern Hemisphere history your student’s favorite class!
