This Reading & Literature Teacher’s Manual includes vocabulary word lists (for those words introduced in the text), literature guides, and supplementary read-alouds. An economical Teacher e-book version is also available. Lessons focus on refreshing phonics skills and developing skills in word meanings, listening, fiction and nonfiction reading comprehension and fluency, story and nonfiction sequencing, and reading fluency. This manual provides step-by-step guidance; assessments; beginning, middle, and end-of-year evaluation; and answer keys. Spelling expectations increase from previous levels, and are categorized by pattern words, high-frequency words, technology terms, and “power” words. Words are studied in context, and students at this level will learn synonyms, antonyms, and Greek/Latin roots. A biblical worldview is woven through all assignments. A materials list of commonly found household items is included (online access, a meter stick, and a magnetic whiteboard are among the most unusual). Most of these materials have a classroom function rather than homeschool application. Free online Teacher Resource materials (link in the front matter of the manual) include printable assessments, diagnostic tests, a genre chart, reading strategies, phonics review materials, and multiple blackline masters. 497 pgs, spiral-bound, sc. ~ Ruth
