Grammar Castle's 8 Parts of Speech and the Knights of the Write Table, 4th and 5th Grade Student Edition & Teacher E-book
This resource features a story-based approach to grammar and writing for children! In this level, students review the eight parts of speech previously learned using exciting characters (and their correlating colors) to represent each part. Stories, songs, and activities bring the content to life, helping it to stick in the brain long term! (LOVE that Classical methodology!) Each lesson in this consumable Student Worktext takes 30-60 minutes but can be spread over several days (depending on age and attention span of student) with the goal of one lesson per week. Lessons are colorful, always following the same pattern: Duel of the Day, Grammar Story or Beautiful Sentence, Grammar Activities Using Classic Literature, Writing Application, and Optional Activities. Scripture verses and biblical traits are emphasized throughout. Grammar songs are set to familiar tunes such as Old McDonald and Ring Around the Rosie, making them very easy to teach AND learn! (Warning: they’re catchy! Your whole family will be singing them!) Most instruction for the course is built into the student worktext, but the Answer Key and teaching tips for this level are in a separate Teacher Edition E-book which mirrors the student text. This package includes both items needed to teach the course – the printed Student Text and a code to receive the Teacher E-book by email. 296 pgs, pb. ~Nancie
Writing stories excites young writers. Merging story-writing, classic literature, grammar, and mechanics activities help students to make connections between parts of speech, word choice, spelling, subject/verb agreement, pronoun usage, verb usage, correct sentence structure, paragraphs structure, editing, and style.
The 4th-5th Grade Student Edition (Printed) and Teacher Edition (E-book only) are sold together. Both full-color texts are mirrors of each other (310 pages long). After you purchase your student text, we will email you the Teacher Edition.
These materials offer complete coverage of both writing and grammar.
Grammar Castle & the Kingdom of Writing is a classically minded grammar and writing program for Grades K-8, emphasizing Christian character values throughout. Full-color Student Workbooks are engaging and interactive… filled with stories, illustrations, metaphors, and songs that bring grammar and writing to life. As students move up through the curriculum levels, a strong foundation is laid in grammar, usage, and mechanics, as well as step-by-step writing and oral presentation skills. Those familiar with classical methodology won’t be surprised at how well students can memorize and assimilate the important information using creative memory devices (color coding, pictures, mnemonics, jingles, etc.), helping it to stick in the brain--- long term! For example, each part of speech is represented by an engaging character living in Kingdom of Writing… their color, symbols, characteristics, and songs help students to make connections, remembering the functions of each part of speech.
The curriculum’s writing process, influenced by the Canons of Rhetoric (invention, arrangement, style, memory, delivery), focuses on brainstorming, paragraph arrangement, essay format, memorable style, editing, and delivery. Tasks are broken down into small steps and practiced over several lessons, helping students not to feel overwhelmed. Models from scripture are used to teach composition and speaking skills and the use of authentic literature is also integrated into writing and grammar instruction… perfect for those who enjoy a Charlotte Mason approach.
With the goal of one lesson per week, each curriculum level is easily finished in a school year. Teacher guided lessons take 30 min to 1 hour in the elementary levels and 1-2 hours at the middle school level, and can be done once a week (perfect for a co-op setting) or spread over 2-3 days during the week. Each level has a consumable Student Workbook which follows a particular lesson pattern, making it easy to teach and easy for students to get into a rhythm of learning. Teacher and student share the same book up through 3rd grade (answer key in back), but in 4th grade and up… a teacher e-book mirrors the student book with answers overlaid. The optional Story & Songbook (013934) and Coloring Book (013940) can be purchased separately for extra support but aren’t necessary to the success of the program.
