The fifth installment of the Reading Street curriculum for homeschooling series, Grade 5, is the perfect tool for your child's educational journey. This set of materials is designed to help your child develop a love of learning he or she will carry throughout the rest of his or her life. Not only does Reading Street aid you in educating your child on the subject of reading, the system is also designed to improve language arts and writing abilities. Now that your child is ready to begin the Grade 5 curriculum, he or she will encounter more challenging content and in-depth reading assignments. All Reading Street installments integrate flawlessly with the rest of your homeschool program materials and make it easy for you to plan engaging lessons. Use the Teacher Resource DVD to print out curriculum-aligned worksheets and rubrics, and administer quizzes. Reading Street: Grade 5 comes with two volumes that cover six units. Each unit spans six weeks, for a total of 12 weeks' worth of English and Language Arts content. By the time you and your child complete Reading Street: Grade 5, he or she should be able to: Read several types of literature, including poetry, drama and prose. Use direct text examples to support ideas about the reading. Recognize themes within a story. Develop an individual writing style. Include correct punctuation, capitalization and grammar in writing. Conduct course-related research using the text and outside sources. Adapt writing style to speak to a specific audience. Each stage of the Reading Street series is increasingly more complex, giving your child the challenge they need to develop high levels of writing, reading and language skills. The lesson plans you design using this system will keep your student interested in learning.

The third installment of the Reading Street series, Grade 3, delivers structured content designed for children who have a firm foundation in English and Language Arts and are ready to continue on the path to lifelong reading. This curriculum for homeschooling brings together classic reading selections, fun activities and parent/teacher guides to help you develop lessons that boost your student's English and Language Arts learning. As with all levels of Reading Street, Grade 3 was created using educational research to ensure your child is guided through his or her work by age-appropriate and cutting-edge content. Each week, your child will work through a series of reading and writing activities that center around a Big Idea. This structure supports your child's critical thinking skills and ensures he or she builds knowledge suitable for a child in third Grade. By the end of the year, children at this level in their homeschooling program should be able to: Read third-grade level material at a steady pace. Identify errors when reading aloud and know how to correct them. Answer questions using examples from the text. Comprehend and explain main ideas found in the reading. Develop a point of view different than those of characters in stories. Edit writing after completing it. Use transitions in writing, such as "therefore," "for example" and "also." Reading Street: Grade 3 will give you the tools you need to achieve these learning goals during your homeschool program. Grade 3 comes in a two-volume set that's packed with engaging reading materials and helpful teacher tools. You'll be able to keep tabs on your child's progress through this level by using the assessment materials. If your child needs to revisit a certain lesson, you can ensure he or she does so and fully comprehends the subject.
