Students have up to six months to complete each semester. This flexible scheduling allows for more personal and family time. Reading is emphasized throughout the curriculum because it is considered an essential skill for future success and is the foundation for all other subjects. Because research indicates that learning phonics significantly improves student reading ability, the language arts curriculum contains a strong phonics program. Whenever possible, reading selections are used in social studies and science lessons in order to supplement and reinforce work done in language arts.
Students begin to read to learn, as well as to discover the joy of reading.
All submitted work will be evaluated by an experienced, Texas-certified elementary teacher who will be available for consultation, if needed. This grade is an average of the three evaluated units. This price also includes use of the comprehensive lesson plan manual and the evaluation by certified teachers of student work submitted for six units. You must purchase textbooks separately, either from the Extended Studies Bookstore or another source. No, your student does not have to be admitted in order to use the curriculum.
