I am using Winston Grammar as the spine for our lessons. Here is their
website: https://www.winstongrammar.com/
Here is a description of their methodology:
The purpose of The Winston Grammar Program is to help students understand the
structure of language and comprehend the principles of traditional grammar. The
Winston Program uses innovative means to achieve conventional ends. It does
away with the traditional grammar textbook, lecture approach, and heavy
emphasis on memorization. Instead, it gives students a set of color-coded clue
cards and a book of exercises, which together generate multi-sensory activities:
Every part of speech has its own colored card. On the front is the name and the
marking to use in the workbook. On the back side of the card are clues for helping
the student determine if that card is the correct one. Repeated use of the cards
results in the student’s acquisition of knowledge with little or no memorization
required.
Parents - If grammar is a weak area for you, please consider purchasing the
complete package with the teacher's manual for yourself.

In this class, I want to share children's literature with students. Children's literature has a lot to offer readers of any age. It really isn't just for children. Throughout this class we will cover several children's titles from the last 150 years. I hope to give students the opportunity to see just how rich children's literature is and give them the chance to make a list of favorites that they may one day be able to share with others (friends, family members, children). My hope is that students will view literature through the lens of Philippians 4:6-9. There will be a lot of discussion, as well as book-related projects and more.
Homework: There will be a variety of book-related projects.
Book List: Plan to acquire a paper/print copy of each title. It is important fort students to read the book. If it would help your student, they may listen to the books, but only if they are reading along in the print copy. The final book list is below.
