A one-semester course for grades 3 or 4 and up

Students are often expected to write with no clear model before them.

Modern composition scolds traditional writing instruction as rote and unimaginative.

It takes imitation to task for a lack of freedom and personal expression. And yet, effective communication from writer to reader always requires some sort of form and structure.

Many of history’s greatest writers learned by imitation.

In other words, writing takes the same kind of determined study as ballet or diving.

Creativity uses conventional form as a stage or a springboard from which to launch grand jetés and somersaults.

Too often students are expected to tackle complex writing assignments without learning the necessary intermediate steps.

The Writing & Rhetoric series method employs fluent reading, careful listening, models for imitation, and progressive steps.

 Each exercise is intended to impart a skill (or tool) that can be employed in all kinds of writing and speaking.

The exercises are arranged from simple to more complex. What’s more, the exercises are cumulative, meaning that later exercises incorporate the skills acquired in preceding exercises.

This series is a step-by-step apprenticeship in the art of writing and rhetoric.

Fable is the first in a series of 12 books that will train students over 6 years, starting in grades 3 or 4 and up.

This is the fun way to learn new vocabulary!

These popular, easy-to-use detective cases are suitable for Grades 5 - 12+.

The vocabulary in these mysteries were gathered from a multitude of sources including SAT and ACT word lists and the author's reading selections.

Merriam Webster's online dictionary provided many of the details about the words including usage, look-up history, synonyms and antonyms.

Students must identify the meaning of new vocabulary as they try to uncover the subtle clues hidden in the statements from witnesses and suspects.

Each mystery requires careful reading, critical thinking, and synthesizing information to identify the innocent and guilty.

The cases also develop observation skills, reading comprehension, deductive and inductive thinking skills.

Learning to identify and evaluate evidence is the very heart of critical thinking.

This fun, engaging 80-page book teaches prefixes, suffixes, and new vocabulary.

Each lesson includes activities where the student chooses the correct vocabulary word used in context, identifies the prefix or suffix, and solves a jumble puzzle that reinforces the lesson.

The jumble puzzle is the punchline to a joke or riddle that is solved by unscrambling a set of words related to the one-page lesson.

In order to solve the jumble, students must first unscramble a set of vocabulary words related to the lesson.

Each unscrambled word is a clue to the answer of the joke or riddle.

The final step of the jumble puzzle is to look for multiple word meanings, synonyms, homographs, homophones, idioms, or figurative language to identify the answer to the joke or riddle.

Students LOVE jumbles and each jumble reinforces the lesson. 

A complete answer key is included.

This is a one-year Algebra I course for Grades 7-9.

Students who have a solid algebra background will have no trouble with the algebra problems from SAT and even the GRE.

This 384-page book highlights vocabulary and notation, and has examples from the history of math.

What makes this book unique and different from other algebra textbooks is that it is built from the experiences of an award-winning algebra teacher with more than 30 years of teaching experience.

Many textbooks are written by a committee of authors, and many of those authors have little experience teaching beginning algebra students in middle school or high school.

Understanding Algebra I presents the most essential concepts and skills needed to fully understand and gain confidence in algebra in a step-by-step fashion, teaching students that algebra is generalized arithmetic.

It helps students see the connection between mathematics that they already know and algebra, so that learning algebra becomes easier and less abstract.

This book provides students with real strategies to succeed in solving word problems by using charts and translating strategies that guarantee success.
