Publisher's Description of BJU Press Focus on Fives Home School Kit 4th Edition
Focus on Fives starts children on a path for developing learning the skills they will need for first grade. Students receive basic age-appropriate introductions to science, social studies, handwriting, phonics, and reading. Fun and exciting learning activities help young students build a foundation in phonemic awareness, reading strategies, listening, and speaking. Worldview shaping begins early with the four key themes addressed throughout the course: God is great, and God is good; God created me and all things; the Bible is God's Word, and it is true; and I learn in order to serve God and others.
