During the course of study each student develops his own Latin-English handbook. All information concerning grammar and vocabulary is presented in a balanced combination of oral and written work. Students will hear, say, see, read, and write Latin and English constantly. In this way all students can learn with their strengths and yet also practice their weaknesses. This multisensory method of learning does far more to instill the information in the student s mind than a mere workbook method. Everything is clearly defined, and, equipped with the essential components, any student is able to analyze both English and Latin. Over 200 new Latin words are introduced which are derivatives for more than 1000 English words pronunciation of Latin accents and diphthongs Latin syntax, inflection, declension, conjugation, derivatives introduction to the 5 declensions and 4 conjugations function of noun cases: nominative, genitive, dative, accusative, ablative, vocative first and second declension nouns in detail 4 principal parts of a verb all tenses of verbs of the first conjugation, indicative mood: present, imperfect, future, perfect, pluperfect and future perfect synopsis of a verb the irregular verb sum in all 6 tenses enclitics and interrogative particles Latin prepositional phrases: ablative of place where, accusative place to which, ablative place from which, ablative of means, ablative of accompaniment, ablative of manner adjectives of the first and second declension, agreement and position of adjectives Latin prefixes and suffixes.The readings this year are primarily for pronunciation, flow of the Latin language, word identification, and optional memorization.

But time and again those reforms have failed, and each set of standards, no matter how new and different, has had little impact on improving student achievement. Why? The textbooks. Textbooks sell based on design and superficial features, not because they are based on the latest research on how children learn and how well they promote student achievement. In Tyranny of the Textbook, Beverlee Jobrack, retired from educational publishing, sheds light on why this happens. She gives an engaging and fascinating look behind-the-scenes of how K-12 textbooks are developed, written, adopted, and sold. And, perhaps most importantly, she clearly spells out how the system can change so that reforms and standards have a shot at finally being effective.Did you Know?—Reform efforts have focused on writing and rewriting standards and tests, but these rarely have any effect on the core curriculum that is published.—School districts and states don't use effectiveness as a criterion for evaluating and purchasing textbooks.—Publishers don't offer textbooks with better content or the latest teaching methods because teachers don't want textbooks that require them to change their practices.—Teachers report that they don't rely on a textbook in their class, but research shows that they do.—Three companies publish 75 percent of the K-12 educational materials.—Those three companies are producing similar programs with the same instructional strategies, none of which require teachers to change their practices significantly.—Publishers write textbooks for California and Texas. All the other markets have to make do with books only superficially adjusted for their states.

Word grammar is a theory of language structure and is based on the assumption that language, and indeed the whole of knowledge, is a network, and that virtually all of knowledge is learned. It combines the psychological insights of cognitive linguistics with the rigour of more formal theories. This textbook spans a broad range of topics from prototypes, activation and default inheritance to the details of syntactic, morphological and semantic structure. It introduces elementary ideas from cognitive science and uses them to explain the structure of language including a survey of English grammar.

The Reaching Olympus series uses classroom-tested Reader's Theater plays specifically designed for 6th-12th grade students to retell the great myths and legends of world mythology. Reader's Theater is an innovative and powerful teaching tool that allows students to break away from silent reading and share in an "acting-out" experience where words and myth come to life! Volume I of the Greek Myths in the Reaching Olympus series features nine classic myths in interactive-script form, including Perseus and the quest for Medusa’s head, Atalanta the female warrior, Jason's legendary quest for the Golden Fleece, Narcissus and Echo, Oedipus Rex, Orpheus and Eurydice, the inventor Daedalus, and the flight of Icarus. Each play is prefaced by a teacher guide providing a synopsis of the myth, relevant background information and commentary on the myth, anticipatory questions for pre-play discussion, essential questions to help analyze the "big ideas" behind each myth, recall questions to check reading comprehension, and instructions for teaching commonly-tested terms and literary devices using each play. Supplemental materials include a temple-building game, a find-it puzzle with fifty different items to locate, a bonus myth (Bellerophon and Pegasus), a glossary of important characters, and a name pronunciation guide. Zachary Hamby is a professional author and illustrator and an experienced educator. He has spoken at many educational conferences (including the National Council of Teachers of English Convention) on the many benefits of using Reader's Theater in the secondary classroom. He is the author of two series that teach mythology to young people, the Reaching Olympus series and the Mythology for Teens series. He currently teaches high school in the Ozark mountains, where he lives with his wife and two children.

More than five hundred characters are targeted in exercises that aid in the efficient study of the forms, meanings, and sounds of individual characters and their compounds.
