I'm back with my spelling book questions. So, now I purchased the ABC's and all their tricks. It looks like a great reference book, and definitely useful. It's not exactly what I was hoping for.
Personally I found ABCs and All Their Tricks confusing. I resold it.
Comparitively, I think How To Teach Spelling and the Logic of English Essentials (not the Uncovering book) are open-and-go resources.
-
Uncovering explains the rules but it is only a teacher's guide. You can probably get much of the info from Denise Eide's teacher training videos on youtube.
How To Teach Spelling also lists spelling words for each rule, so you can teach out of it. You don't necessarily need the How To Spell workbooks that go with it.

Does anyone know how I can find a longer sample of WWS? I can't get the link on the Peace Hill Press site to work and the one on Rainbow Resource Center isn't very long. (well, it's long, but most of it is the table of contents)
Thanks!
Yes, strangely the link on the WWS1 page is not working. Try the samples link at the bottom of the PHP homepage. It links to this sample of WWS1.
There is a small sample on CBD; it shows the ToC plus the first few pages of lesson 1.

According to SWB's writing lectures, 8th graders should be able to prepare a 3-level outline from their reading and rewrite from that outline. From the Writing Without Fear handout:
History: Outlining sections, once per week; writing brief summaries from that outline
Science: Outline sections, write brief summaries
Reading: Half-page reports: summary, character analysis, criticismThis recent thread on the typical writing output of high schoolers may give you some idea.

I've never heard of this book, so I googled and found this review. One edition of the book is available on archive.org.

Any updates....
We're reading through the list of stories in Farrar's post that I linked above. I'm not getting as much discussion for each story as I'd like, though. Dd said she did not a couple of the stories (Zlateh, and The Lady or The Tiger!) She used to enjoy discussing when I read longer books with her in the past (Harry Potter, Charlotte's Web, Narnia, Calpurnia Tate) and I am puzzled why she isn't enjoying the short stories as much.
At this point, her studies take up so much time, we just don't have the time to start a longer chapter book. So I will keep trying - read a few more stories and hope she will warm up to them. I've downloaded older editions of the Junior Collier series and of the Journeys Through Bookland series. I will update if I have better luck with these.

Is there something wrong with this? I have a prescription for my son and it was $20 WITH insurance. I'm wondering if there is something nasty in it.
I don't know what AllDayChemist sells, but the Retino brand of generic tretinoin is manufactured in India and is available OTC there for the equivalent of US$1.50. There is nothing "nasty" in it.

Steps to Good Grammar from Walch.com covers the parts of speech, appositives, and punctuation. It has diagramming from the start and is secular.

This happened to me for several months on Firefox. I now use Chrome.

Karella is also called bitter gourd.
One Indian way to cook these - cut them, scoop out and dump the seeds, boil them till partly cooked, and discard the water. That gets rid of the bitterness. Then cook them with a bit of oil and a paste of salt, chilli powder, curry powder, jaggery, and fresh grated coconut.
One Chinese way to cook these - cut them, scoop out and dump the seeds, boil them with chopped carrots, red dates, and wolfberries. Add salt to taste. This soup uses a slighly different variety of bitter gourd. See this image; on the left is the variety cooked in India, on the right is the variety cooked in China.

... for dd I am having her do HTRAB simply because there was a workbook available that went with the History Odyssey schedule....
Do you mean How To Read HTRAB?
-
Does this one work? The above link works on my iPad, but perhaps it glitches due to an auto sign in. Try this link
The first book on the list is free.
Thank you! This link worked for me. :)
-
Since you already have the LoF books, I suggest you do them first.
If you want to do something different, I suggest Analytical Grammar and/or Sentence Composing for Middle School.

I was thinking he was the first in a long time. :)
Am I misreading the original post? She said her friend's DH's family only had boys; no girls. Why would that make her friend's DH "transgender" or "the first (boy) in a long time?"

I've used skin creams and face masks from SkinActives.com for several years now and am very happy with them.
Also, a thin layer of Retino 0.025% cream twice a week at night, and SPF 50 PA+++ sunscreen every morning.
I have spent the past year using skin care products from Asia, all available on Amazon, with prime, and my skin has NEVER looked better.
It's interesting that you buy stuff from Asia and I buy stuff from the US. We are both contributing to global warming. :p
Please share the products you liked. Perhaps I can reduce my carbon footprint. :)

When I click your link, it points a book that is not for sale.
And when I search for Black Beauty, I see the regular $.99 Kindle book.

How about daily dictation using a book such as Dictation Day By Day.

Thanks :) For some odd reason, there is no "like" button on your post.
OT; it's because she is a forum mod.

It is because the indirect object can also be re-written as an adverbial phrase:
John threw a bone {to the dog}.

He probably will have to Google how, he is of the generation that did not grow up with computers.
Nor am I. :) How-to password-protect a PowerPoint file.

I would not buy a book with a musty smell.
I bought a different edition of the same geometry book for $2.42 + shipping.

On Writing Well is also available as an abridged audiobook read by the author. You can have her listen to Part 1 of it at bedtime or during a drive. I think it is about an hour long.

Yes, TeachersPayTeachers would be a good place to list his slides; something like this.
I assume he knows how to password-protect the .PPT files so that they cannot be edited.
Logic Puzzles/Critical Thinking for 4th-5th Grade?
in K-8 Curriculum Board
Posted
Logic Safari 1, 2, and 3 only have the grid-type puzzles. They are for grades 2-5 (6, at most). My dd gets bored with the grid-type puzzles in this series.
In addition to grid-type puzzles, the Logic Liftoff/Orbiting series also includes other type of logic questions, including an intro to syllogisms. They are good prep for the Critical Thinking 1&2 books or CAP's Art of Argument.
