2nd Edition 2006

Calculus is made up of four instructional components: Introduction of the New Increment, Examples with Complete Solutions, Daily Problem Sets, and Cumulative Tests. Calculus treats all the topics normally covered in an Advanced Placement AB-level calculus program, as well as many from a BC-level program. The text begins with a review of the mathematical concepts and skills required for calculus. In the early problem sets, students practice setting up word problems they will later encounter as calculus problems. The problem sets contain multiple-choice and conceptually-oriented problems similar to those found on the Advanced Placement examination. Whenever possible, an intuitive introduction precedes a rigorous examination of a concept. Proofs are provided for all important theorems. For example, three proofs, one intuitive and two rigorous, are given for the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus. Numerous applications to physics, chemistry, engineering, and business are also treated in both the lessons and the problem sets. Use of this text has allowed students to take the Advanced Placement examination and score well.

1st Edition 2001

Though developed by Lorna Simmons, author of the successful Phonics K-2 series, Phonics Intervention is not an extension of that series. Instead, it was written specifically for older, struggling students who have difficulty reading and spelling. This supplemental program is designed to ensure that no student is left behind.

The program begins with a quick review of consonants and then moves to vowels, decoding, spelling, and reading comprehension. Students are taught explicit, predictable strategies for decoding and spelling words. Worksheets, speed drills, and vocabulary tests provide continual reinforcement of concepts learned as well as a daily opportunity to read connected text. All student reading materials contain fully controlled, decodable text to ensure student success. A built-in vocabulary component helps increase vocabulary while reinforcing phonics and spelling rules. Progressively difficult alphabetizing activities teach dictionary skills. Cumulative assessments occur at regular intervals, and specific remediation activities are provided for students who have difficulty. Worksheets include twenty-five fact-based paragraphs that teach students about U.S. history, so students learn valuable information and don't feel as if they're in a remedial reading class.

Homeschool Kit Contents

The Phonics Intervention homeschool kit includes a teacher's manual, classroom materials, and a student workbook. All three components are fully integrated into the daily lesson plans.

Teacher's Manual - The nonconsumable teacher's manual is well-organized, providing all the information a parent needs to successfully teach. Every lesson provides model dialogue and lesson plans for parents to follow, ensuring clear, well-paced instruction. The manual also contains an assortment of supplementary materials, including assessments; remediation activities; vocabulary tests; speed drills; and extensive reading, spelling, and vocabulary word lists.

Student Workbook - The consumable student workbook serves as both a reference book and a practice book. It contains everything the student will need throughout the year, including worksheets, assessments, speed drills, word lists, and reference materials. The student keeps his or her workbook at the completion of the program for continued reference and review.

Classroom Materials - The nonconsumable classroom materials include six card decks, one audiotape, and assorted masters. Letter, picture, spelling, sight word, affix, and vocabulary cards form the Review Decks. An audiotape of phonetic sounds allows parents to hear the correct pronunciation(s) of each letter or letter cluster. Finally, parents are provided with a variety of masters: a pretest, a post test, a phonemic awareness assessment, assessment recording forms, sight word evaluation recording forms, and a master sight word list.

1st Edition 2001

Physics was written with both average and gifted students in mind. The subject is taught at an introductory level, allowing the average high school student to grasp the concepts of Newton's laws, statics, dynamics, thermodynamics, optics, DC circuits, waves, electromagnetics, and special relativity. The topics are covered to a depth appropriate for college students majoring in non-engineering disciplines. Consequently, gifted students who use this book will have great success with the Advanced Placement Physics examination, and average students who are willing to do the homework will also be able to pass the examination. This book does not require that the teacher have a background in physics. Anyone who has taught second year algebra, especially Saxon's Algebra 2, can teach this book successfully. Topics from the Advanced Placement Level B Exam can be covered before the exam is given in early May.
