Description
Publisher's Description of Calls to Courage Reader
Sixth graders need examples to follow–courageous examples. Calls to Courage provides the examples in selections centered around five themes: So Many Things to Learn, Contentment, Courage, In All Thy Ways, and Responsibility. Children will learn with Jakob, who discovered that responsibility was much more than a spelling word; Judith, who learned that maturity doesn't come in the mail; Jack the slave who found the most important thing in the world–and many more.
Category Description for Christian Light Reading - Grades 1-8 (Sunrise 2nd Edition)
The Sunrise 2nd Edition made some welcome changes to this dependable, well-done program. Although much of the content remains the same and the readers are unchanged, there is a slightly different organization in the LightUnits and a much more pleasing graphical layout that is full color with color-shaded instructional boxes. Some extra activities such as crosswords have been added.
In this edition, there is a wraparound Teacher Guide for each Reader (Note that Grade 2 has two Readers for the year). Lessons are more detailed with Objectives, Review, Introduction (to literature selection), Oral Reading, and Discussion Questions. Lessons are also broader and incorporate thinking skills along with literary elements and vocabulary studies. Reduced copies of all student pages with answers filled in are provided.
Starting in Grade 4, there is an Answer Key that provides just the reduced copies of student pages with the answers filled in. This is a coil-bound book with a landscape orientation. If using the Teacher Guide, you will not have a need for this book.
Also starting in Grade 4, the Sunrise 2nd Edition provides a Quizzes and Tests Answer Key. This book is full-size copies of student pages with answers filled in. Again, answers to both the quizzes and tests can also be found in the Teacher Guide.
As the name implies, LightUnit Only Sets include all five LightUnits (except in Grade 3 when there are ten LightUnits). Complete Sets include the Reader, LightUnits, and Teacher Guide.
