It's Our Thanksgiving Celebration!

Thanksgiving is my very favorite holiday, and I'd like to invite you to celebrate it with special savings through November 30, 2011.

I'm grateful to the Lord for the strength and courage He gives, and I'm also grateful for the opportunities I've had in homeschooling and home business. I'd just like to say "thank you" to each of you who have made time to homeschool your children. It's not an easy job to make time for things that matter, but there can be joy in the journey.

Just in time for the holiday, I've created a mini-poster of "11 Things a Paragraph Can Do." It's taken from the Excellence in Literature Handbook for Writers (coming very soon). The front lists the 11 paragraph functions and the back briefly explains each of them. Click the docment title to download it.

Also, if you've lost your copy of the Excellence in Literature evaluation rubric, you can click the title link to get another copy.

Blessings to each of you,

--Janice

Special 1: Transcripts Made Easy and Get a Jump Start on College

These two books naturally go together, as Jump Start provides a detailed roadmap to help your teen earn college credit in high school, which is one of the "credibility clinchers" I recommend in Transcripts Made Easy. This is my most popular set at conventions, and I'm offering it to you at the convention price of $35, which is $8 off the regular price.

Special #2- Purchase any level of Excellence in Literature at $29, and get Evaluate Writing the Easy Way for only $5 (regularly $8)

I recently had the privilege of having the first level of Excellence in Literature reviewed by The Old Schoolhouse Magazine's Review Crew. Wow! I'll be sharing direct links to the reviews on the website soon, but for now, you can access all 100 reviews through this Linky page. Enjoy!

E1- Introduction to Literature	Excellence in Literature: Reading and Writing Through the Classics A curriculum for grades 8-12 These challenging, self-directed courses introduce students to full-length great literature in its historical context, while developing skills in writing and literary analysis. English I and II provide foundational skills; English III and IV offer a chronological survey of American and British literature, and English V focuses on European literature. (English II is not quite ready. Watch for it soon!) An Honors Track, with additional readings and writing, for each course encourages preparation for AP or CLEP exams. Some students who have taken this track have been permitted advanced placement in college based upon the material covered. Students who complete five years of Excellence in Literature have the potential of earning 24-30 hours of college credit through testing. Self-Directed, with Week-by-Week Lesson Plans Classic Literature-Based (mostly full-length novels, plays, and poetry) College Preparatory, with Optional Honors Track High-School English for Home Schools, Private Schools, and Charter Schools Excellence in Literature, together with Evaluating Writing the Easy Way, will help you provide your student with a solid introduction to the great classics. Your student will be able to develop college-level writing skills through the careful sequence of writing assignments, and will have a firm foundation in cultural literacy. Evaluate Writing the Easy Way! Do you worry about evaluating your student’s writing? Do you sometimes feel as if you’re missing something in the evaluation process? Evaluating writing is so much more than just “correcting papers.” It can affect your student’s feelings about writing, his or her chance of academic success, and even the relationship you share. In this simple, approachable little book, you’ll learn the things you need to know in order to become the writing evaluator you want to be. Get it for only $5 when you purchase any Excellence in Literature book. Click on the buttons to the left to order this special.

Is Excellence in Literature the most flexible literature curriculum ever? It just might be! Now you can get all the books in one big binder: Excellence in Literature- The Complete Curriculum: Literature and Writing for Grades 8-12 If you'd like to customize your curriculum by mixing and matching units, you can get the entire 5-volume curriculum in a binder so that you can custom select units for each year. If you've already read a focus text for a unit, don't worry, just substitute an honors text. The Complete Curriculum makes it easy to customize your study. You can choose units that go along with your history curriculum, or if you're halfway through high school and don't have time to cover it all, you can pick the units that are most appealing to you.

Grammar Made Easy: Writing a Step Above is a "once through and done" grammar program by teacher Connie Schsenkelberg. It's designed for use in the middle grades (I used it when my boys were in 4th-9th grades, but you can use it earlier or later if you prefer).

If you believe as I do that formal grammar should be studied once, then practiced through usage in real writing assignments, Gramar Made Easy will provide the foundational study you need to make it possible. If you want to cycle endlessly through years of repetitive grammar workbooks, please look elsewhere!

Spelling Made Easy uses homonyms and puzzles to make spelling instruction easy and painless for middle-grade students. As a bonus, students build vocabulary as they are studying each homonym group!

There are 290 homonym groups in the book. Every ten groups form a lesson, which includes the list of homonyms with word definitions, plus four puzzles. There is a suggested assignment schedule for using the book over the course of one year or two years, so you’ll know exactly what to do and when to do it. Daily assignments are adaptable to your student’s pace, and every puzzle has an answer key.

Commas Made Easy by Connie Schenkelberg is a short e-book designed to take the confusion out of how to use commas. Enjoy!
