The first edition of Level 7 Shurley English has provided dramatic results for children all across the country. This older edition was originally written for a school environment, but it can be very effective in the home environment. The Level 7 first edition kit contains all the materials that you need to teach one child for an entire year. It contains the following items: Teacher's Manual: The teacher's manual is the heart of the program at every level. Each lesson in the manual begins with a planning box, which contains lesson objectives. Scripted lessons provide you with the exact words for the Question and Answer Flows, questioning strategies, and the teaching techniques that make this program consistent for all grade levels. The script is especially helpful for parents who are new to homeschooling or are new to Shurley English. The Teacher's Manual is set up in chapters. There are five lessons in each chapter, and each chapter can be finished in one week. Each lesson takes approximately twenty to forty-five minutes to complete. Grammar, language skills, and writing are taught in each chapter. Student Textbook: The student pages will give the child a visual aid as he/she is learning new skills. Your child can use his/her pages as a reference for information about concepts that have been taught. This will be helpful as your child completes skill tests, application tests, and writing assignments. Introductory CD: The introductory CD provides the jingles and the Question and Answer Flows for the Introductory Sentences. It may be used to demonstrate jingles and Question and Answer Flows to children, or it may be used as a resource for the parents.
