Natural Speller
Absolutely the only book you will ever need to teach spelling.
Teaching strategies include additional tips for use with the
learning disabled, and word lists are organized by both sight
and sound patterns. Build vocabulary skills with Latin and Greek
roots and word lists, and by using the spelling rules to add
prefixes and suffixes to root words. Choose from among the suggested
activities to include practice with grammar, dictionary, and
composition skills. Phonic, spelling, and punctuation rules
are listed for easy reference. Word lists are divided by grade,
1 through 8. However, this method is easily adapted for older
students or adults who need remedial work. Because of its multi-sensory
and simplified approach to spelling, and because each child
can work at his own pace, this program is ideal for students
with learning disabilities. Placed second in the 1999 Practical
Homeschooling Reader Awards.

Comprehensive Composition
Just one volume covers grades K-12. The outlined teaching strategy
encourages better writing through editing, allowing students
to develop at their own pace, improving with each practice.
Boredom is eliminated by choosing the type of composition and
an appealing topic from among those suggested to suit the student's
needs and interests. Topics include: paragraphs, essays, reports,
outlines, biographies, narratives, letters, and short stories;
persuasive, descriptive, expository and creative writing; choosing
and narrowing a topic; content and structure skills; mechanics;
and sample lessons. Use alone (it has everything you need) or
as a reference. Recommended by reviewer Cathy Duffy as "one
of the most concise yet comprehensive books for teaching the
writing process available to home educators."

Movies As Literature
This complete, one-year high school English course uses classic
movies on video to introduce and study the elements of literary
analysis. Student discussion and composition questions are provided
for each of 17 lessons, several of which can also be used to
supplement studies in grades 7 and 8. Also included are an extensive
teacher’s guide/answer key, plot summaries, glossary of
literary terms, and final exam. This course will not only give
students the tools to appreciate good books more fully, but
will equip them with the ability to discern underlying messages
in movies rather than simply absorb them.
