A Look at a Guidebook

Daily Planner -- No Need!
Your Guidebook has it All!

Your guidebook is an indispensable tool. It outlines each day’s assignments, provides
invaluable advice about teaching, and offers ideas for activities and reinforcement.

The numbers on the right coordinate with these highlights in our guides:

1 - Resource titles are listed in the first column.

2 - Each day’s activities are listed in their own column.

3 - The oral discussion section is always at the top, and consist of history or science books. These books are designed to be read aloud with your student.

4 - Adventure reading is listed next and these books also designed for reading aloud.

5 - The Bible study section can be completed aloud or independently, depending on the student’s age.

6 - Some programs have an focus set, which rounds out the program and allows students to study people groups or events up-close. These books can be completed as read-alouds or as additional independent work. (Programs for older students also have a separate section for independent work that needs to be completed by the student each day.)

7 - The activities section lists all the resources available to you from which to choose which activities you wish to complete. NEW! This year we’ve added a ratings system for activities!

8 - Notes at the bottom include clarifying remarks or instructions for the parent.

9 - Often additional activity ideas, video suggestions, or helpful hints also appear here.

10 - Website links give ample opportunity for students to learn even more about their world.

Language Arts Guidebook

Your language arts guide complements your basic study guide perfectly. It adds to your subject study all language arts skills: phonics, grammar, spelling, vocabulary, handwriting, and creative writing. The creative writing assignments are taken from the subject matter of your basic study. Thus, when you order your language arts program, be sure to select the package that coordinates with your basic study. Additionally, your language arts guide is hole-punched on the right, so that it will lay across from your basic study guide pages. This means your binder, when opened fl at, will have Week 1 language arts and basic study laying side by side. Everything you need for the week -- available at a glance.
