No longer part of the same package as the Phonics and English 1 course, this reading course has a lot to offer and helps develop phonics systematically. There is now a single student worktext, which is consumable and much more colorful; and six reading books instead of two. The readers contain some new stories, some previously-included stories, and some rewritten ones, along with full color pictures on every page. These introduce students to different genres, including fiction, non-fiction, plays, poetry, and even choral readings. Many of the stories are centered around a Christian family, and all are edifying and character building. The Home School kit includes the Student Readers set, Student Workbook, and Teacher’s Edition.
