Unit 1 provides an introduction to the kitchen; Unit 2 discusses nutrition and food preparation; Unit 3 teaches about food shopping and kitchen organization; and Unit 4 delves into meal planning, preparation, and presentation.

Then Unit 8 discusses the godly home and the responsibilities in managing it - decorating, cleaning, and maintaining. Unit 9 approaches the various stages of child growth from birth to the junior years, covering physical, mental, and spiritual growth. The last unit is a focus on the actual student, preparing her for becoming a godly woman and giving her guidance in understanding herself, God's plan, her relationship with God, friends and friendships, modesty, singlehood, and Christian courtship. Each book contains reading and comprehension and other activities to practice the skills in running a household. Answers included. - Melissa
