This is the first of six booklets providing instruction in traditional cursive script. They move from large letters to smaller and smaller script. They also move from tracing to copying and writing original materials. The series ends by showing the student how to handle the "tails" of letters when a blank space hasn't been provided as when they write on standard binder paper. This one could be used in Grade 2 to introduce cursive.

This booklet reviews multiplication and division and moves into fractions and decimals and money. It includes complete answers so that the student can see what sort of answer is required, that is the format, as well as the correct answers. In the next booklet, Math4-3 Patterns and Relations are covered. I have followed the Western and Northern Canadian Protocol. American users will recognize all the concepts for their students of a similar age.

This booklet is about Shapes. It starts with representations of time and reading clocks, and moves on to area, geometric shapes and symmetry. There are also lessons on using the hand for multiplication. It includes complete answers so that the student can see what sort of answer is required, that is the format, as well as the correct answers. In the next booklet, Math4-5, Data-gathering is covered. I have followed the Western and Northern Canadian Protocol. American users will recognize all t

This booklet covers operations with whole numbers up to thousands, from What are Whole Numbers?, through all of the operations to how to lay out a word (story) problem. It includes complete answers so that the student can see what sort of answer is required, that is the format, as well as the correct answers. In the next booklet, Math4-2 the common fractions are treated similarly. I have followed the Western and Northern Canadian Protocol. American users will recognize all the concepts for

This Unit of Study is about how to dissect difficult passages by using grammatical analysis mixed with vocabulary hints. I show the same simple sentences in both German and French in historical order. Designed for ESL students who probably understand the grammar of their own language, these ideas can be taught in conjunction with other items on the Grade 7 curriculum and up. I have used a colour&underlining code. These are the Key Questions: Which one is it? Who did it? What did he do? To

This booklet is about Patterns. It starts with camouflage and includes a little test for colour-blindness, a topic that is a curiosity to the child but of particular interest to the teacher as it affects the student's ability to read maps, graphs and other illustrations. There is also a song with lots of repetition. It includes complete answers so that the student can see what sort of answer is required, that is the format, as well as the correct answers. In the next booklet, Math4-4 Pattern

These checklists enable the teacher to evaluate writing without favour and without missing some items. They are weighted to reward content (what is said) over style (how it's said), but the weighting can be changed by the teacher to emphasize a particular skills that the teacher has been teaching or to ignore lessons that have not yet been taught. They can also be used to identify lessons that the student needs to study in order to improve. Share with the student to show how you intend to eva

This booklet of exercises covers the Dolch sight word lists from Grade 1, 2 and 3. There are cross-word puzzles and fill-in-the-blank exercises with simple sentences. There are answers at the back of the booklet for reference or to show the child how to do cross-word problems and how to fill in blanks. They are designed to suit the penmanship needs of beginning writers. Susan Grigor

BFH Grade 3-4 This is the first of my six booklets in the Barchowsky Fluent Hand. Nan Barchowsky has designed a script that provides an easy step from "printing" to "cursive" in one script. It is useful for Algebra, too, and means that only one script needs to be learned. Nan provides lessons to doctors and other professionals who want to improve their essential hand-written notes. This first booklet gives the letter formation in a large size.

This booklet gives the joined-up letter formation in a large size: it introduces the ligatures.

This booklet is designed for students in Grade 4 or 5 and has application for Grades 6 and 7 as review. It includes conversion of Mixed Numerals to Improper common fractions. All the rules that apply are fully illustrated and complete answers are given, too.

This booklet is about Data representation It starts with one-to-one correspondence and ratio notation and goes through pictographs and bar graphs. It includes complete answers so that the student can see what sort of answer is required, that is the format, as well as the correct answers.

This is the fifth of five booklets. The first four are at the K/1 level teaching how to make the letters and putting them in alphabetical order in meaningful groups. This is for 2-3. Fluent handwriting enables the child to concentrate on writing what he wants to say. It also helps the child to read because his familiarity with making letters and spelling words familiarizes him with the sounds of the code. Many children who are behind in learning to read have gaps in handwriting skills. The

The series ends by showing the student how to handle the "tails" of letters when a blank space hasn't been provided as when they write on standard binder paper. This one could be used in Grade 3 to practise cursive and for Grade 4 to review. It is the same as the first book,

Number Readiness could be used from Pre-K to Grade 1 depending on the abilities of the student. Some pages are designed to be cut up and parts glued on a worksheet. The instructions are given in words and icons: See/Say/Write/Draw a line/Cut/Glue. Illustrations should be of familiar items. It is expected that the child(ren) have an adult or older child to help the students talk about the images and help where needed.
