The Total
Language Plus study guides are immediately recognizable with their bright
yellow covers, but it’s the inside of the guide where you will find gold!
Comprehensive study guides written from a Christian perspective focus on
teaching thinking and communication skills using literature as a base.
It is
typical to complete 3-5 novels with guides in a traditional school year. Each guide
contains 5 to 8 units and will take about 8 to 10 weeks to complete. Focus
Guides are shorter format guides and usually take about 3 weeks.
In addition
to reading comprehension and literary analysis, TLP guides offer practice in
- Spelling
- Grammar
- Vocabulary
- Writing
- Listening
High school
guides contain more extensive writing activities that teach composition
techniques, showing the student how to organize and plan their writing, as well
as suggesting what points to include. These guides also contain oral readings
for the selections to incorporate speech and drama into the program.
