Features

Language Arts

• Reading—Students will enjoy reading from a variety of authors and genres as they explore many literary concepts to enhance their reading and their writing skills and develop a biblical worldview. Increased comprehension and the development of critical thinking skills are key objectives of the Abeka reading program.
• Grammar and Composition—Creative writing and report writing provide practical applications as sixth graders build a grammar, usage, and mechanics foundation that will serve them well in junior high.
• Spelling, Vocabulary, and Poetry—Your student’s spelling skills and oral and written vocabulary will grow quickly through his work with English words formed with Greek and Latin roots and prefixes and suffixes. Activities in proofreading and learning about the development of English language are an added bonus! And what an accomplishment when he can recite from memory all 8 poems!
• Penmanship—A review of cursive formations is included in Creative Writing, the companion book to Language C.
• Arithmetic— Challenge your student with percents and more complex mental arithmetic and word problems. As in the other skills subjects, the Abeka program ensures repetition and maintenance of basic skills and builds a foundation of understanding necessary for more abstract concepts.
• Science/Health—Build a bridge between elementary and junior high science as your student studies geology, invertebrates, space travel, and more. In the 7-week Health course, he learns about fitness. He also becomes familiar with health concerns such as drug abuse and AIDS, studying their physical, mental, and spiritual effects.
• History— America’s neighbors, Canada and Mexico, become more real as your student explores the history, geography, and people of North and South America.
