Calvert is a trusted name known by many veteran
homeschoolers. While an umbrella school at one time; now the Calvert Publications name is
found on these user-friendly curriculum sets.
10 Worktexts (Units) provide both the
textual/instructional material and written activity/exercise space students
need. The worktexts also contain several tests (two self-tests and a unit
test). A thorough Teacher Edition(s) provides teacher helps (schedules,
grading info, record-keeping sheets) and alternate unit tests.
In the K and 1st grade levels, daily, detailed lesson plans
and reproducible worksheets are provided. These daily lessons include a
materials list and reduced copies of student pages (including tests) with
answers. Grade 2 Teacher Editions provide general unit lesson plans, materials
lists, optional additional learning activities, reproducible worksheets, and
answer keys (but no reduced student pages). Subject Sets include both
Worktexts and Teacher Editions and sometimes additional materials. Lessons are
designed to be teacher-student interactive, especially in K-1, but also provide
work for students to complete independently. Content for each course is
comprehensive and secular. Grades 1-5 Four-Subject Sets include math,
language arts, history/geography, and science. The Kindergarten Set
includes math and language arts. The Pre-K Set includes math, phonics, and
electives (activities for social studies, music, art, science, and more).
