The course is a chronological study from the Anglo-Saxon period starting with Beowulf to Pygmalion in the twentieth century. A highlight is the reading and discussion of Macbeth and Pilgrim's Progress.
* Grammar and Composition—This year's study provides practice with parallelism, clear and logical construction, exactness and vividness, agreement, and other habits of a good writer. Basic review over parts of speech, punctuation, and capitalization helps your teen stay sharp and ready for college work!
* Vocabulary, Spelling, Poetry— Watch your teen's vocabulary and thinking skills soar as he studies the origin of 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. Your teen will be inspired as he memorizes 10 poems, including Donne's "Death Be Not Proud."
Language arts programs listed in this section cover most areas of language arts (reading/literature, writing, grammar, spelling and handwriting) in one curriculum, although some skill areas may be covered with less intensity than a focused, stand-alone course.
The Abeka® distinctives start very early and flow through all levels, such as a cursive-first handwriting approach (starts in K and reviewed up to 6), thorough grammar (with diagramming), foundation-based composition skills (begins in 1st grade) and listening/speaking skills (including reading aloud and poetry memorization). All with Christian, patriotic-focused content in a spiral format with detailed teacher instruction. In 1st grade, skills introduced in previous years (phonics/reading, optional cursive, poetry, and vocabulary skills) are enriched with creative writing and sentence-level mechanics, weekly spelling tests, and oral reading. In Grade 2, transition to reading comprehension and beginning literature analysis occurs. Grade 3 begins the four-pronged emphasis of reading skills (analysis & discussion), writing (academic & creative), spelling/poetry, and grammar. Grade 4 (Level A) adds speed reading, the writing process, researching, and diagramming. Students refine all skills in Grade 5 (B), aiming for varied reading and writing (emphasizing research skills), as they head for Grade 6 (C), which cements the elementary skills in preparation for Abeka® upper-level courses.
