With literature as a basis, this innovative program uses an integrated approach as it takes your students through all the activities needed to learn reading, grammar, diagramming, vocabulary, spelling, short story writing, research, poetry and higher-order thinking skills.
Everything you need in one book: student instruction, a place for writing, and a tool for easy record-keeping. Allows for more independent student work and less work for the teacher.
