For Grades 2 through 12, Bob Jones offers an English (Writing &
Grammar) program to train students in communicating Biblically and effectively.
Both oral and written skills are developed, with increasing emphasis on
composition at the upper levels. Everything that you would expect in a writing
and grammar program is here from mechanics, to word types, grammar (including
parts of speech and diagramming), and all types of writing (including
journaling, analysis, and various composition tasks). BJU Press English/Writing & Grammar courses integrate
Christian references and will help students apply a Biblical worldview in
communication by recalling, explaining, evaluating, formulating, and applying
Biblical themes.
Teacher’s Editions contain daily lesson plans,
additional and differentiated educational suggestions, and answers to the
student worktext exercises in wrap-around format. Student Worktexts are
consumable, and at each grade level, different themes and tasks are introduced
in a progressively challenging way. Assessments provide consumable,
ready-to-use tests for each chapter; answers are found in the Assessment Key. Homeschool Kits contain 2-part Teacher's Editions, consumable worktexts,
consumable assessments, and an assessments answer key. See grade level
descriptions for specific program goals, materials, and assignments.
Additional/supplemental materials are no longer found
on Teacher CD-ROMs. Instead, these materials are now either included in the TE
or are not necessary for home use. You’ll see references to Teacher
Tools Online, the TextbookHub, and BJU’s Homeschool Hub. The first two are designed for Christian
school teaching needs and only available for schools. The Homeschool Hub is
available free to any home educator with account setup and provides scheduling,
calendar, gradebook, and planning tools that are not course specific. ~ Ruth
