This grade five worktext provides 34 lessons of spelling words with a review lesson each quarter. Approximately 20 list words are presented each week, in cursive writing, and many creative ways of practicing the words keep the lessons interesting. Apologetics lessons this year focus on quotes from the Fathers of the Church.

Just as this book is much more difficult to use thanTeach Your Child To Read In 100 Easy Lessons, it is also more difficult to review. A companion book by Wanda Sanseri, Teaching Reading At Home, organizes the information into a one page flow chart, then expands each item in the flow chart systematically so you feel comfortable with what to teach when.

Akimbo is a young African boy whose father is a head ranger of a game park. When his father announces that he is going to one of the farms in the south because of reports of a lion attacking cattle, Akimbo convinces his father to let him tag along with the promise that he will be good and help.
