To give you an idea, in Chapter 6 of the 7th grade course, Helen Keller's autobiography, The Story of My Life, is covered. The lessons are effective vehicles for grade-level skills with thorough coverage of vocabulary, comprehension, literary elements, and writing instruction along with grammar, usage, and mechanics. There is good variety in terms of genre in the reading selections. Lightning Literature's author, Elizabeth Klamath, wants students to enjoy reading. You and your student are encouraged to read, enjoy, and profit from the year's literature studies. While you may be able to locate some or all of the books at a library, we also offer Literature Packages for each guide that include the necessary books. Classics, familiar, non-familiar, poetry, and, occasionally, surprising choices all find their way onto the book lists for each grade level. The last component is the excellent Literature Selections that are the heart of the program.
The Teacher Guide is the "glue" that holds the whole program together providing a philosophical and methodical overview of the program and a weekly planning schedule (lesson plans) as well as chapter-by-chapter answers and teaching helps. It provides worktext space for all the essential exercises as well as some optional fun/reinforcement exercises. This consumable book is the place for the student to "do" their work. The Student Workbook is the student's textual companion as they study the literature selections. The three components of this program are designed to be complementary and to be used together. Lessons are well-constructed and the excellent and thorough coverage includes vocabulary, comprehension, literary elements, composition, grammar, and mechanics. She WANTS students to enjoy themselves! Accordingly, reading assignments are comfortable - two novels, two non-fiction books, two short stories and several poems for the 7th grade course, for instance.
"Reading should be fun, and writing should be satisfying." The author of this series believes this, and she has produced courses that try to keep that goal ever present.
