Save yourself the hassle of purchasing each book individually and order this kit for your child! Combine this with the English 10 Parent Kit for a successful year in English.
Features:
· Literature—Devices such as figurative language, theme, and setting are tools in the hands of writers! As your teen studies these literary devices, he will use them to enjoy and appreciate selections by renowned world writers. A highlight is the reading and study of Julius Caesar and The Scarlet Pimpernel. Discussion and essay questions build your teen’s analytic skills.
· Grammar and Composition—Your teen will be introduced to advanced grammatical concepts such as mood, objective complements, and substantives. And new forms of writing, such as critical book reviews, which are part of the Author Research Project. His growing reasoning ability is strengthened through both grammatical concepts and writing applications.
· Vocabulary, Spelling, Poetry—Watch your teen’s vocabulary and thinking skills soar as he studies the origin of vocabulary words; word analysis through prefixes, roots, and suffixes; and word analogies! In addition to the 144 vocabulary words, more than 1,000 synonyms, antonyms, and related words are part of this year’s study. Memorizing poems will give him a love for language and an appreciation for the best thoughts presented in the best way.

There are several components to the Abeka Grammar & Composition with Vocabulary and Spelling. If you have used Abeka before, you are familiar with the Grammar and Composition being together in one book and Vocabulary, Spelling, Poetry being in another. The Revised edition has moved the Composition instruction to what is now called Composition with Vocabulary and Spelling book. Grammar IV helps the student reinforce grammar concepts that were previously taught, build on those grammar concepts, and apply those concepts in writing. Composition with Vocabulary and Spelling emphasizes developing the student’s ability to apply knowledge of grammar to his own writing through the writing process. Your student must learn to write in an organized manner and learn to evaluate and edit so that he can communicate clearly. Improving Writing Style sections found throughout the select units provide opportunities for your student to apply both grammar and composition concepts. Each spelling list contains twenty spelling words, including words pertaining to different spelling rules, words with common prefixes and roots, words related to different academic fields, and names of countries and territories. Each list also contains twelve vocabulary words, including helpful words to know, words with common prefixes and roots, and words related to different academic fields. Exercises for each list provide opportunities to master spelling words, vocabulary words with definitions, and prefixes and roots with definitions. Use the English 10 Curriculum Lesson Plans to see the scope and sequence for the 170 daily lessons for Grammar IV, Composition with Vocabulary and Spelling, and World Literature. For testing, use the consumable student quiz and test booklet, and the teacher quiz and test key. Use the Supplementary Exercises (with perforated pages) for students needing more grammar, usage, and mechanics practice.
