Three Levels of Learning make it easy to teach your child or students
By Joseph Grayhaim
Grammar is the most important skill a literate person can master. Reading, spelling and writing come first, then grammar. But it is also the most daunting of those early language arts skills to teach and learn. Winston Grammar has developed a unique approach to grammar that will make it much easier and even enjoyable for both teacher and student.
The Basic Level (6 items)
This package covers the most-used parts of speech – nouns, verbs, adverbs, adjectives, direct address, etc. There is a pre-test, which functions as a placement test if the child has already had some grammar instruction. The Basic Level consists of 30 worksheets, four quizzes and a final test.
Included in the Basic are a Teacher’s Manual, Student Workbook and a set of 42 small and 8 large, color-coded cards each with the name of a part of speech. The student is given a sentence and then places the correct colored card beneath each word in the sentence. This process is effective for all learning styles, since it involves cards of different colors, placing the cards beneath the sentence, etc. All 6 items can be purchased separately or as a package that comes in a Velcro-closing case. This method makes learning faster and easier than other approaches to grammar.
Word Works (2 items)
This is the next level in Winston’s program. It applies the grammar concepts that were learned in the Basic Level to writing. It covers the five most-common usage errors in English. A few of the five are: Subject-verb agreement, Personal Pronoun functions, Comparatives & Superlatives, and troublesome words, like good/well, less/fewer, etc. The student need not have completed Winston’s Basic Level, but merely must have learned the same basic concepts.
Word Works includes 40 worksheets with a pre-test and a post-test and four quizzes, a Teacher’s Manual, Student Workbook and the first five large cards from the Basic Level Grammar Program to be used for review.
Advanced Level
The third level of Winston’s grammar program is the Advanced, which begins with a review of the basic information and then covers possessive nouns, pronouns and adjectives; reflexive verbs, interrogatory pronouns and the other elements of advanced grammar material. This package includes a pre-test for placement purposes, 55 Worksheets, 4 quizzes scattered throughout the program, and a post-test. There is also a Teacher’s Manual, Student Workbook and a set of color-coded cards in a Velcro-sealed case.
If the homeschooling parent or classroom teacher wants to remove the anxiety from teaching and learning this most-important subject, please visit Winston Grammar’s website and consider their complete program for achieving mastery of grammar. J.G.

Math Essentials Math Refresher for Adults
Math Essentials in Spanish – 5 Titles — Elementary Math to Algebra, Gr 4-8
Written by “America’s Math Teacher”, Richard W. Fisher
https://www.mathessentials.net/
408-314-4573
math.essentials@verizon.net
Refresher – 270 pages, including Glossary, math symbols and various conversion charts, soft cover $28.95
General Math • Geometry • Pre-algebra • Algebra • Problem-Solving
Assessed by Michael Leppert
Mr. Richard Fisher is a classroom math teacher whose in-class experiences were his motivation to create the series of math textbooks which this volume is one part.
His ingenious lifeline for adults who need to brush up on their math abilities is well-thought-out and helpful. Each book lesson has a corresponding free video lesson by Mr. Fisher, making it easier to master each step of the way than simply a textbook would be.
Adults may need math refreshing for a variety of reasons. Working adults may need to advance in their careers with improved math skills; an adult who is returning to the work world after an absence of years; returning to college that requires a math skills assessment; or to simply be able to help your children with their math homework!
Other adults may need math refreshing to take the GED, SAT or other such exams or to enter a tech field. Finally, if you feel that your brain is getting mushy as you age, a relaxed regular math regimen with video help may be just the thing to muscle up your gray matter! Each page has what we used to call “word problems”, which require a bit of reasoning as well as math work. If you have ever seen the MENSA word problems, you will recognize these as easier versions, but still challenging — and rewarding!
The book begins with Whole Numbers, simple addition and subtraction, which may seem easy, but it actually makes your adult brain work harder than you expected. Not frustratingly difficult and truly FUN, but just having to recall your addition/subtraction facts is something few of us do anymore. Each concept is addressed in the video tutorials and then reviewed in the Math Refresher for Adults book. Still in the Whole Numbers realm, you move on to division and multiplication – a bit more challenging, but you can watch the videos and review as much as you like!
More daunting is the next section Fractions – Mixed Numbers, all math operations with fractions, etc. Then Richard covers fraction conversion to decimals and percents, which is always handy in adult life . . . in cooking, measurements of all sorts, laying out a magazine or newspaper . . . Another helpful “real-world” math discipline is geometry, which comes next, starting on page 82.
If you can use 5 of these math titles in Spanish for elementary grades, 4 to 8, Rick has them. Mastering Essential Math Skills; Pre-Algebra Concepts, No-Nonsense Algebra and No-Nonsense Algebra Practice Workbook. This set is perfect if your child is learning Spanish in a Unit Study format and these titles cover the math aspects.
Visit the website, https://www.mathessentials.net/ to see and order this book or any other DVDs or books by Richard Fisher. Your children will enjoy using his regular volumes, too! Ω

ELIMINATING CARELESS ERROR (In Mathematics)
by James Watt
8.5 x 11 soft cover, 73 pages
$15.99
Grade range, Part 1: 2nd to 3rd Part 2: 4th to 6th
Published by Back Fence Publishing

Careless errors in math are the number one problem for students. They lead students to feel that they don’t fully understand the principles of math or are only half-concentrating on their work. It is careless error, rather than understanding principles of math that causes widespread anxiety in math – for both children and adults! Schools do not teach children how to deal with careless error, they simply leave them to sink or swim on their own.
James Watt has developed a simple way to eliminate Careless Error by easily checking one’s math answers for all 4 functions – addition, subtraction, multiplication and division. His underlying premise is that teaching children how to think is the foundation of everything else. He aims to teach that math is comprised of a few simple geometric patterns.
In Eliminating Careless Error, Mr. Watt, teaches his Check Digit method of self-correcting. This method reduces all numbers to one of 9 single digits for checking the answer, aka the real number.
For instance, 26 + 52 can be analyzed: 2+6 = 8; 5+2 = 7, 8+7 = 15, 1+5 = 6. The student can check his long answer, 78, by reducing that number to a single digit – (15) = 6 (the Check Digit.)
At first glance, this might seem to be too simple to actually work, but it does work across the spectrum of basic math. He has also included the math proofs of ‘why it works’ in the back of the book. Children learning the method think it is a magic trick – but it’s not! It is REAL mathematics which is not taught in schools!
For Multiplication, if you multiply a number by 3, 6 or 9, the check digit of the real number always matches 3, 6 or 9. To find the check digit in multiplication, you simply add the real digits to make one check digit. Finding the Check Answer in division is a bit more complicated, but becomes easy with practice. The problem isn’t check digits, but that division is the more complex operation in mathematics of the four. All through the method, the process is explained simply and clearly for both the parent and the student.
This book is designed for parents to use in homeschooling their children – or in supplementing the classroom work to increase the child’s success and confidence in working with numbers. Mr. Watt has included Multiplication Tables To 9 & Check Digits and Hints for Memorizing Multiplication Tables Using Check Digits.
If you are homeschooling, this book is an essential part of your Math Library. If your child is in a classroom setting, this book is a must-have for you to improve his/her knowledge of math and confidence in doing math work. Many children doing poorly in math have suddenly found they can do very well, simply because they KNOW their answer is correct – even before the teacher checks it. Mr. Watt says, “There is no excuse for ANY child to not get ‘As’ in math.” Visit the website to order it! Ω

Write At Home Online Courses for Homeschoolers in Middle & High School
http://www.writeathome.com/
2204 Fort Belvoir Dr
Virginia Beach, VA, 23464 757-749-6000
by Emerson Sandow
Writing has always been a vital skill and even today, with the encroachment of electronic media, with foreshortened communications such as texting, etc., being able to convey one’s thoughts on paper reigns as the most important of skills – doing so clearly and intelligently is also helpful! In recent years, the SAT essay portion has increased this importance and homeschoolers are very fortunate to have online programs such as Write At Home to provide the deep instruction necessary to achieve mastery without having to attend brick-and-mortar classes at possibly inconvenient times.
Write At Home does not require the student user to log in at a certain time or watch a presentation at a given time. Rather, the student can log in “anytime” s/he wishes and can work on an individual schedule throughout the program. Since the students using Write At Home are middle school or high school age, 12 to 18 years, the issue of self-discipline and self-guidance is non-existent. This age is the time of mastering one’s writing skills and the serious homeschooler knows that the future in college and employment hinges on being serious about writing.
Write At Home’s basic self-guided courses come in three different lengths of time: 32-week annual courses, 16-week semester courses, and 8-week workshops. The student is given an assignment and a due date and is expected to submit the completed assignment by the due date. The assignments can take from 1-3 hours per week, sometimes more.
Here is a partial list of what the first annual 32-week course for the average 5th or 6th grader is intended to achieve: Students who complete the course will be able to…
- compose complete sentences.
- create logically organized paragraphs.
- write for a variety of purposes, including narration, description, exposition, and persuasion.
- respond to coach feedback on their writing through revising and proofreading.
- demonstrate a grasp of basic writing concepts such as unity, conciseness, and clarity.
- engage the writing process by employing the following five steps in composing every paper: prewriting, drafting, revising, proofreading, publishing.
- demonstrate comprehension of basic usage and mechanics rules in their writing.
- demonstrate proficiency at writing under time constraints.
- improve their writing across a wide range of broad evaluative areas, including content, style and form.
Actually, many older students benefit from taking this course as well, since previous writing work might have been spotty and the review and revision is invaluable. The other regular writing course offerings are similar in scope and time, becoming more focused on truly understanding and mastering the various types of writing and receiving feedback and criticism for improvement.
Besides the many regular writing courses offered, Brian Wasko, creator of Write At Home, offers online Classic Literature classes called Wasko Lit. The Lit 1 Syllabus includes Mythology by Edith Hamilton, The Illiad, The Odyssey, plays by Aeschylus, Euripides, some selections from Plato, C.S. Lewis’ Till We Have Faces, other works and Julius Caesar by Shakespeare. This is the heavy-duty study that homeschoolers are known for and many adults wish they could have enjoyed such an extensive course in the comfort of home!
Write At Home should be a part of every homeschooler’s education. Please visit the website to see complete information and enroll your student right away! E.S.

Author: Dr. Joyce McPeak Robinson
http://www.joycemcpeakerobinson.com/
============
Dr. Robinson’s underlying teaching method is to ask “How?”, not “What?”
If homeschooled children are taught how to learn, they take in much more information before they might require aid from the homeschooling parent.
• Modern brain shows that spelling improvement relates positively to learning reading.
• Correctly writing out spelling words activates 4 sensory receivers affecting reading, writing, speaking & listening
• Dr. Robinson’s method is based on proven research that improves spelling by 50%
• Her Spelling book begins with the 100 Most Misspelled Words, followed by 100 Study Sheets, one for each word
• Each sheet offers 10 Steps to aid spelling the word: Using in a sentence, writing it, defining it, filling in 2 missing letters,
etc.
• The Vocabulary books follow the same practice pattern
The Answer Keys allow the home teaching parent to check for errors. The homeschooling student is also given the opportunity to improve his/her performance as time passes. Providing a homeschooler with a broad vocabulary allows him/her to communicate effectively and precisely.
