Shurley
English is a complete grammar and writing program.
The first edition of Level 7 Shurley English has provided dramatic
results for children all across the country. This older edition was
originally written for a school environment, but it can be very
effective in the home environment. The Level 7 first edition kit
contains all the materials that you need to teach one child for an
entire year. It contains the following items.
1. Teacher's Manual: The teacher's manual is the heart of
the program at every level. Each lesson in the manual begins with a
planning box, which contains lesson objectives. Scripted lessons
provide you with the exact words for the Question & Answer
Flows, questioning strategies, and the teaching techniques that
make this program consistent for all grade levels. The script is
especially helpful for parents who are new to home schooling or are
new to Shurley English. The Teacher's Manual is set up in chapters.
There are five lessons in each chapter, and each chapter can be
finished in one week. Each lesson takes approximately twenty to
forty-five minutes to complete. Grammar, language skills, and
writing are taught in each chapter.
2. Student Textbook: The student textbook is designed to
give your child ample opportunities for review and application of
skills learned. This textbook contains skills, skill tests,
application tests, writing examples, writing assignments, and a
jingle section. Skill tests assess skills taught in the current
chapter. Application tests assess cumulative skills, grammar, and
editing.
3. Introductory CD: The introductory CD provides the
jingles and the Question & Answer Flows for the Introductory
Sentences. It may be used to demonstrate jingles and Question &
Answer Flows to children, or it may be used as a resource for the
parents.
