There are no gimmicks. All the methods used are effective and completely acceptable to the child's school. Children are asked to complete homework assignments of about 15 minutes per day including instructional games and puzzles. The Traditional Saturday School can be run at home if you have the room, or you can hire a room at a Church Hall, Community Hall or similar premises. Junior Course 1 All aspects of reading including phonic skills, comprehension and vocabulary are covered, at the child's own level.
Spelling trains the memory and is based on letter strings in common words.
Children are taught to form their letters correctly and to join their handwriting. Spelling is developed, including familiarisation with common spelling rules, and students are helped to improve their handwriting. Each course completes one year's work with new reading, spelling and handwriting material, plus dictionary work. Each course is complete in itself, so a student may take one or all of the courses, joining the scheme at any point. The reading scheme is supplied, together with over a hundred reading and original spelling games, plus all lesson material ready to use for teacher and pupils.
