About the Course
I will be using Progeny Press curriculum, & possibly Total Language Plus curriculum. Both of these are Christian based. Most of the focus will be on reading comprehension & discussing the novels in class. There will be weekly reading assignments, with questions to answer and vocabulary words from the stories.
We will be going over various literature terminology and doing some writing, but this is not a writing or grammar course. There is no textbook to buy. I have books for the students to borrow, or you can provide you own if you already have it. I will provide the worksheets each week for homework, so there is a copy fee each semester.
