LANGUAGE
A full-color set of visual illustrations, the Language Enrichment Visuals, provides an interesting way to teach children the concept of opposites and the difference between positions such as over, under, in, and out.

CURSIVE WRITING
Writing with Phonics K5 is an appealing cursive writing book that is correlated with the phonics program. Students learn to write the letters as they learn what sound the letters say. Teachers appreciate the sample letters that show exactly how each letter is to be written. The “houses“ help students remember where each letter “lives.“ Review is included along with new instruction. Students will write letters, blends, words, and even sentences.
POETRY
The beautifully illustrated Poetry Favorites for Kindergarten introduces young children to the wonderful world of poetry with familiar, enjoyable poems that evoke laughter, paint a picture with words, and touch children’s sensitive hearts. Children learn poetry of well-known authors such as “The Swing“ by Robert Louis Stevenson and “What Can I Give Him?“ by Christina Rossetti. Children enjoy poetry rich in visual imagery and ear-tickling rhythm and rhyme. Hearing the poems repeated often helps in memorization. Discussing the art in these teaching cards and the meaning of the poems helps develop a better vocabulary.

Units on the five senses, the weather, seasons, seeds, animals, and the seashore all show the amazing wonders of God’s design in this world He has created. Simple drawing and coloring activities highlight the units.
