WinterPromise Curriculum Choices

Our Themed Programs Our curriculum centers around completing one themed program per year. These themed programs focus on high-interest subjects that will arouse the curiosity of your student. In fact, here’s what one parent shared about her students’ excitement -- and her own! “My 8-year-old son and I drool over each theme, each science and language arts program WinterPromise offers. You would think each theme and program couldn’t get any better ... then box day arrives. WinterPromise is a well-planned, very full curriculum. My son is disappointed when each schooling day ends, and looks so forward to each new school day. He also views learning as a joyful gift. -- Jean

Language Arts Programs We offer language arts programs for Pre-K and Kindergarten, and first through 12th grades. Each program is a perfect partner to our themed programs, offering reader sets and creative writing assignments that coordinate with each theme. Our approach offers a variety of resources, something you can learn more about on page 60. You’ll find some fun resources

along the way to make this subject -- not some students’ favorite -- a bit more fun and lighthearted when possible. Elementary grades often include active learning! Each program includes instruction in phonics or grammar, creative writing, spelling, and vocabulary building. Handwriting practice is included for grades 6 and under. These programs are designed to perfectly complement themed sets.

Science, Math & More

Science

Our science programs offer just the right amount of content to complement our themed programs. Program descriptions begin on page 60.

Math Resources

We offer a few different options for you to consider for your student. See them on page 66.

Timelines & Notebook Building Resources

These support resources are necessary to complete the timeline and notebook building portions of your themed programs. Take a look at the resources on pages 56-57 you’ll need to round out your program.

Understanding WinterPromise --

What are the ideas behind the Experience Approach? Charlotte Mason, Innovative Educator Charlotte Mason was a British educator who wrote books on education that were down-to-earth and practical. Her book, “Home Education,” was innovative and influential to other educators of the time. She fostered the idea that children could be inspired to learn and explore with joy the world around them. We here at WP find her ideals are very relevant to providing both a great education and a practical way of life for homeschooling families, and our resources are based extensively upon Charlotte’s practices.

Charlotte Mason’s Fundamental Ideas Charlotte Mason based her philosophy of education upon seven fundamental, practical principles.

DO’S

DO provide intelligent reading in abundance. DO introduce culture and things of beauty -- music, nature, poetry, and the arts. DO teach your children to narrate, telling you back about their learning experiences in their own words. Notebooking is a part of narration. DO build habits that shape your child, and teach the discipline of self-education for joy’s sake. DO allow free time to develop as a person instead of a heavy homework load, especially in younger grades.

DON’TS

DON’T teach your student to succeed for the sake of a grade; instead, introduce them to things that capture their interest and they will try their best. DON’T lecture; instead embrace learning together with discussion, experimentation, and narration. Charlotte felt that children have the same needs as adults -- to have meaningful work that excites and motivates them to achieve more and more. Charlotte believed that traditional educational systems -designed for demonstrated success through testing -denied children the opportunity to grow in their souls. Education should strive to introduce a student to that which expands their knowledge and understanding of the world in a way that shapes them to be the person God intended them to be.

BASICS OF A “CHARLOTTE” EDUCATION Wonderful Books

If you talk to anyone about Charlotte Mason, they’ll mention her advocacy of, in her words, “Living Books.” Charlotte believed that a child needed to read books that were written by people who loved their subject matter and brought their subject alive through action and character development.

Narration Narration is the art of “telling back.” To some extent this ability is inborn in our children. Narration is a great way to judge comprehension and mastery of material, and parents are encouraged to integrate narration into the program along the way as a habit. WP includes different narration ideas for greater variety.

Notebooking A great way to “narrate” is in written form. Notebooking is a great way to reinforce student studies. Our “Make-Your-Own” history series and “Timelines in History” are exclusive resources designed to help your student learn the joys of notebooking.

Learning Together All of our resources are designed to keep you interacting with your student for much of their studies. Time spent cuddling on the couch, reading together, contrasts well with the times you’ll work together to complete hands-on activities, or, as the student grows older, research activities. Watching an educational DVD, listening to a music CD together or preparing historical recipes all involve family time ... and family memories. WinterPromise is committed to bringing together the perfect balance of resources to keep your family excited, interested, and sane!

How Do Program Resources Fit Together? Each of our themed programs has several different aspects: history or science books, pleasure reading, activities, research resources, Bible study, additional resource suggestions, map work, timeline building, and notebooking. We have incorporated all of these aspects so that there are plenty of learning avenues for the different learning styles your family represents. The variety means there is plenty to do, and some to discard if it is not working for you. So how do they relate to each other?

History or Science Books form the backbone of the program. They are living, wonderful books that share the things your student needs to know in an interesting, engaging way. All of our books are chosen to capture your student’s interest and get them thinking and interacting as you read them together. Activities provide family memories.

Each program has books and kits devoted to bringing you activities that help along the fun! Our featured “Open & Go!” activities require no supplies, or paper supplies you’re sure to have, and you can choose to do just these! Other activities require a few supplies, if you want to plan ahead for more fun. Our guides help you choose the level of prep (or no prep) you want!

Research Resources are found in levels for older

students. One of our goals is to teach your student to make educated guesses, use research tools, make judgments and summarize important facts. As your student progresses to our higher grades, they will be able to formulate answers to the open-ended questions they’ll find in college classes, analyze ideas and philosophies, and take and defend a position on important issues.

Bible Study Resources build Bible

Timeline Building helps your student grasp how pivotal events changed the world, and how one happening, discovery, or development led to a change in history or the human experience. We offer timeline figures for each of our history programs; these figures and other dates are designed to be placed in our “Timelines in History” timeline book. (See p. 56.) This timeline book is hole-punched so that student work and WP notebooking resources, the “MakeYour-Own History” series, plus art, reports, and pictures can be filed within it to “make their own” history book! Notebooking is a desirable way to help your student remember day-to-day learning. Our “MakeYour-Own” series are informative and interactive! Our pages aren’t resources where each page is the same -- no, we’ve done the work to offer a variety of pages that offer students chances to illustrate pages, write “newspaper” entries, create period placard signs, solve codes, and more! It’s a creative outlet for art-happy (and even not so art-happy) students! Additional Resources Suggestions pull together other reinforcement tools in your guidebook. These include DVD suggestions, website links, field trip suggestions, and a variety of other media reinforcement. From listening to the Rebel Yell to touring the Seven Wonders of the World -- your student will have the globe at his fingertips. Picture Studies acquaint students with great artists by interacting with famous pieces of art. Adventure Reading are pleasure e

Ideal for any family time, they draw your student into real life adventures or fictional journeys and help cement the things they are learning in their history or science studies.

A Walk through a WinterPromise Day Starting with History Books, you’ll dive

Let’s take a look at what your day might look like using our program, “American Crossings 1.” Of course, with WinterPromise, you will find that each program is slightly different, with its own “va-voom” fun learning avenues. Here, we’ll take a look at a fairly representative program, but keep in mind that each program will offer you a little bit different experience. We think this adds to the attraction of completing our program year after year.

into your day. Today you’ll read through a lesson on “Colonial Beginnings” from the Time Travelers text, then discover colonial “Tools and Gadgets,” enjoying all the photographs of tools used by merchants and tradesmen.

Adventure Reading Books are easy to complete right during your morning reading time together, or before or after nap time, or even right before bed. Today you’ll take time as a family to enjoy hearing about Sam Collier’s amazing tale of Jamestown in “Blood on the River.”

Another important thing to remember about WinterPromise is that we do offer so many different learning tools. As you walk through this day, remember that your family can tailor the program to your own needs. In fact, you can tailor the program so each student focuses on the parts of the program that really connect with their learning style. For example, perhaps one of your students is a hands-on learner while another loves art and another loves to write. As a family you can complete many of the learning opportunities, then allow each child to focus as they learn best. Your hands-on student can complete more activities independently, while your art lover is more creative with their notebook, and your writer tackles written projects for their notebook or spends extra time on their language arts assignments. At the same time, they can do a little less in areas that just don’t connect with them. We offer everything you need to have a variety of memory-making moments!

Activities and Projects fit right in after some reading. Today you’ll start work on a Time Travelers activity, making a replica of Jamestown. The completed model is below.

Geography finds your student working

independently to learn more about this week’s state, Rhode Island. Your student will be able to choose a “Trail Blazing” activity, and decides to learn more about Rhode Island inventor Samuel Slater, who created the spinning jenny and revolutionized textile industry. Your student will also learn the state capital with a fun memory device from “Kids Learn America.”

Timeline Building & Notebooking is not

happening today, although you’ll make sure your “Mitchell Map” is filed in your “Timelines in History.” You can look forward to gluing timeline figures into your notebook tomorrow.

Picture Study today will have your student

working on John Trumbull’s painting, “General George Washington Resigning His General George Was hington Resignin g His Commission by John Trumbull Commission.” After 1824 taking a few minutes to quietly look at this beautiful American picture, your student will read background information provided in the “Early American Painters Picture Studies” resource.

Map Work for today is to start coloring in the “Mitchell Map.” You can see the map, already colored and completed below.

Language Arts is designed for most students to complete fairly independently, and many parents choose for their students to complete this during the early afternoon.

Math is purchased as separate programs,

either from us or another company, and can be worked in the early afternoon.

Science is also purchased separately, and many parents find they love doing science on their “5th” day, as their themed programs are completed in just four days a week.

Bible Study can easily take place at the dinner table or right before bed. You’ll be learning a little more about a famous American and a character quality he exemplifies that God would like for you to build into your life. Additional Resources Suggestions can fit in

anywhere during your week. A relaxing way to pull Dad into today’s studies might be by watching a DVD you’ve borrowed from the local library for use this week, entitled “Save Our History: Secrets of Jamestown.” This DVD is suggested in your guide, and takes you “right there” to see how excavations there shed light on life in this first permanent settlement.

What Truly Sets WinterPromise Apart? Amazing, Exclusive Resources You Can’t Find Them Anywhere Else -Here’s Why You’ll Love Them! Families new to WinterPromise may not be aware of just how many resources WP publishes -- resources you can’t get anywhere else.

Why Does WP Publish So Many of Our Own Resources? We Won’t Settle for Less Than the Best

WP has high standards for the resources we include as part of our programs. We’re parents who homeschool, too. We aren’t happy with boring textbooks or books with activities you’ll never do! So we produce resources you WILL use -- resources that are intriguing and that have educational, high-quality, low-prep (or no-prep!) activities. Stuff you’ll actually do, things that are realistic and fit into your real life -- so you spend time making memories.

WinterPromise Creates Unique Programs

Our programs offer a unique view of a time in history or provide a topical study that is different from other curriculums out there. These unique studies require us to create resources that in many cases just don’t exist!

WP is Committed to a Cohesive Flow

Our exclusive resources fit together perfectly, intricate puzzle pieces that provide everything your family needs to have a marvelous learning experience. They provide a cohesive flow between programs and a unique sense of unity.

WP’s Themed Programs Are Designed to Offer a Different Experience Each Year Not only is each theme unique, but each themed program you complete has a different “feel,” so your family has a unique experience each year, and there’s no room for boredom! So, while your family will explore innovations and fads in American Culture, they will dig into archaeological topics in Ancient World. The array of experiences we offer come from our own customized resources. They provide that unique flavor!

WP Exclusives are Designed to Save You Time Our exclusives are created to keep you learning together with your kids, not prepping materials. We keep things low-prep and easy for you, providing materials that integrate easily into your real life!

SO, What Does That Mean for You?

WinterPromise offers a total experience that is unlike the experience you will have with any other curriculum.

Are WP Resources Worth Their Price?

YES! Yes -- and, yes! Most are just jam-packed with content, are highly interactive, and above all - are practical and FUN! Don’t waste money on add-ons that are more price than education.

The Basics:

What WinterPromise Programs Include

Which Works for You? Print or Ebook?

Ways to Add Adventure Reading

WinterPromise also offers ebooks delivered as downloads. These ebooks or ebook sets are specially designed to look great on tablets or laptops, but they can also be used on a computer! Not only do they offer you options for getting books in color, they allow you to print as many consumables as you need for your immediate family! Plus, they can be used in all new ways!

WinterPromise themed programs have always included a guide; history, culture, and geography books; Bible resources; notebooking and timeline work.

We also schedule adventure reading, readalouds to enjoy together as a family. However, we offer a choice to parents as to whether or not they buy these books from us, borrow them from a library or friend, or purchase them as ebooks for an e-reading device. You can find out more below.

WinterPromise has always offered programs in traditional print, and we still do. Most of the resources we offer are available in print, with a few exceptions.

A Change to Reading Books - More Options for You WinterPromise is making another big change. You’ve probably noticed that things are really changing in the world of books! A great wave of e-reading devices is changing how we read and use and think about books. As we here at WP think about the future of books, we see this change as a great one! Ebooks are less expensive to produce, cost nothing to ship, and offer a great option to help homeschoolers keep costs down. Now that these devices (and tablets and smartphones, and maybe soon, your toaster!) can offer you instant, downloadable books, it makes a lot of sense to us to let parents have the option to utilize this entirely new way of reading. We

feel this will allow WP to focus on bringing you even more ebooks in the future, make WP more affordable than ever, and allow for a whole lot of new ways to use WP! Wow! So, we’re offering you the option to buy our themed programs and language arts for 3rd6th grade without the Adventure Reading or readers. Plus, with LA 3 to 6 ebook sets, we’re including our all new eReading Schedules that include questions for the books we’ve always used. (There’s more about that on page 49.) You can still order the reader sets, if you’d like them, but this gives you options to use ebooks or the library. PLUS -- some themed programs and LA include ebook copies of readers! Cool!

Which Programs Are Available in Ebook?

When You Receive Your Ebook Collection

We’re excited to tell you that most of our Themed Programs have an ebook collection of WinterPromise exclusives and other resources. The only Themed Programs that are available in print only are “Journeys of Imagination,” and “American Story 1” and “2.”

Adobe PDF Reader will allow you to use your ebooks, so you’ll need it on each device you use. Each file has your password on it, which you enter each time your device is turned off. Your ebook set comes with a “Welcome Packet” with basic helps to get started.

In addition, we’re offering LA 3 to 6 in ebook format. Each ebook LA comes with a choice of an eReading Schedule. This should give parents more flexibility than ever, and this change to these LA programs is explained on pages 10 & 49.

PRINT OPTIONS Printing at Home

Each ebook resource includes printing instructions right on the front cover to make it simple to print those you’d like. Of course, you won’t need to print every resource, since some are better used as viewable documents. Most resources have been formatted so they can be used in looseleaf format, or bound or hole-punched after printing.

Printing at Staples Stores

Some families may prefer to get some or all of their ebooks printed elsewhere. A few of the resources you receive may be easier to have printed away from home because they would be better double-sided or bound. We’ve made this SO easy to do! We’ve negotiated special low prices for our families at any Staples store. Included in your initial “Welcome Packet” is a sheet that includes order details for each resource, printing instructions, and permission for Staples to print.

WinterPromise’s Premiere Exclusives: Amazing Notebooks WinterPromise Notebooking A key element of WinterPromise’s programs has always been notebooks and journaling. A “LearWinterPromise offers highly interactive and educational pages that add more content to your program, give students a second chance to interact with the information they’ve received, and allow students to show what they know. It’s all done in a fun format that is as much scrapbook and journal as educational tool. Kids may not realize how much they are learning because they are just having so much fun!

Adventures in the Sea and Sky Captain’s Log Takes you through civilizations of the past as they traveled the globe by sea and air. This one-year world history program is unlike any other program our competitors offer!

This year, our most popular programs have received a huge upgrade - they have new marvelously big notebooks that your students (and you) will love! They are now 200-300 pages long! Have we mentioned how interactive these pages are? The samples pages here should be proof of that! Take a look! Note that our notebooks are in color in the ebook version, but when we print them, they are black and white copies, except for a few color pages in the back.

How Your Guidebook Pulls It All Together! Your guidebook is an indispensable tool. It outlines each day’s assignments, provides invaluable advice about teaching, and offers ideas for activities and reinforcement. It serves as yearly planner, weekly supply organizer, daily schedule, and moment-by-moment helper. Many of our parents have commented that their guidebook is like having a good friend at their elbow to keep them on track! You can see samples of each theme’s guidebook online, or in-depth info is at www.winterpromise.com/guidebook. html. A “Lear

What You’ll Find in Our Themed Program Guides • • • • • • • • • •

Daily reading schedules for history or science books, adventure reading and Bible study Easy-to-use grids that double as record-keepers of what you’ve completed as you check off work Notebooking and mapping assignments and instruction Options for activities, experiments, outings & memory-makers with ratings systems for difficulty Notes for each week outlining “how-to’s,” hints, and other helps along the way Weekly suggestions for specific DVD’s and links to websites that “take you there”! Yearly planning guides for activity supplies and DVD requisition Practical helps for using the program with multiple ages, for reporting to state agencies, and more Timeline cards for review and retention of key facts for most themed programs Independent study schedules to eliminate generating “homework” lists (see more below)

Independent Study Schedules Most of our guidebooks include independent study schedules that schedule your student’s independent work. That means no more creating “homework” lists of things for them to complete. Like the parent guides, they are set up as a table that can be checked off as each assignment is completed. Each weekly page includes notebook building assignments and mapping activities for most programs. Included are places for science and language arts assignments. Programs for junior and senior high offer even more information, including research information and website addresses. To the right is a sample.

Language Arts Guides Language arts guides also pull together their respective resources and schedule several reader set options to coordinate with themed programs. Each includes handwriting instruction up to grade six. Language arts programs offer all the needed instruction in phonics, grammar, mechanics, handwriting, creative writing, spelling, vocabulary, and more. Creative writing or narration assignments are cross-curricularly linked to themed programs, as are reader sets.

Science Guides Science guides schedule all resources, and give you information at a glance as to the supplies you’ll need for each week’s experiments or discoveries. Science journaling is a part of most programs. Each science program is designed to complement the amount of content you’ll find in our themed programs.

I Need More Help Deciding! Here’s Where You’ll Find More Help Online!

In What Order Should I Use WP?

We are often asked by parents about the order in which they should use the WinterPromise themed A “Lear programs. The online resource, “How Do I Plan Ahead to Use WP for Many Years?” gets you started planning. In the same part of our online “LEARN” section, you’ll find other follow-up questions answered, such as: What Sequence of Programs Does WP Recommend? What is the Scope & Sequence of Themed Programs? How Does the Approach Change as Students Mature? Go to: www.winterpromise.com/using_wp_longterm.html

What If I Want to Repeat through Cycles of World History?

Many homeschoolers love the idea that they can cycle through history a few times during their student’s school years. For most, this translates as completing a four-year cycle three times. We here at WP have “tweaked” this idea a little bit. Why? Well, first of all, while repeating through history three times may sound great the first time, we have found that it can feel a little predictable and repetitive by the time you reach the middle of the second rotation. Plus, your student is often introduced to the same material, just in greater quantities and difficulty. It also seems to dampen some of the joy of discovery in learning. So, we “tweaked” this idea a little to include the best of the idea (learning through repetition), but instead offered repetition that looked at history from different vantage points. Like looking through a stained glass window, each “pane” (program) adds a different, and often unexpected, dimension to the material encountered. Some of our programs are a year of history at a glance, while others offer extended views. So, “Hideaways in History” offers a “get-acquainted” perspective, “Children Around the World” looks at the cycle of human development in the individual histories of thirty countries, our “Quest” series is a 4-year cycle, and “Adventures in the Sea and Sky” looks at world history through the filter of transportation by sea and air. You can find out how to repeat through cycles of world history with WP. Go to: www.winterpromise.com/repetitive_cycle.html

What Program Suits My Kids’ Ages?

We’ve assembled a database of answers to help you with choosing a program for your family. As you get to know WinterPromise, you may have decided you have a few choices that might work. Some options may feature a big plus, while another may have a downside for your family. In this database, we list out your options and share with you the advantages and disadvantages of each program choice, and offer answers about how to make it work for your family’s grades and ages.

Go to: www.winterpromise.com/whichprogram.html

How Do I Order Just a Graded Package?

For parents who wish to order a complete graded curriculum, we offer graded packages. These packages offer parents a quick way to order a single grade of materials that includes all subjects.

Go to: www.winterpromise.com/graded_packages.html

What About Choosing Language Arts?

We have a lot of additional information online about language arts. In our “LEARN” section, accessible from our homepage, you’ll find a scope and sequence, graded program summaries, and information on how LA is cross-curricularly linked to our themed programs.

Go to: www.winterpromise.com/learn.html

Can I Get Help Placing My Student in LA? For parents who’ve looked at our online LA program summaries, and still have questions about where to place their student, we have developed a Language Arts Placement Evaluation to help you decide.

Can I Try a Program Sample For Myself?

Yes! We have free sample weeks online so you can “Experience” the programs right away! For programs without “Experience” samples, we offer samples of guides and other resources on themed program pages.

Will You Love Hideaways? Kids (and Parents) Love the Hideaways Experience

Kelita’s girls (right) loved making the General Store. As you see here, they found props from around the house to add to the fun. They even made pistols out of tin foil and holsters for them out of paper and paper towel rolls! Wearing a makeup mustache appears to have really inspired them! Debbie’s kids (below) embraced their roles as Celts and Picts with gusto. A little hair gel and face paint did the trick! We can’t help wishing we could join their play! Once done with each Hideaway, Kelita and her girls pasted pictures into their “Make-Your-Own” Hideaways book.

They made their “Make-Your-Own” Hideaways Book from WinterPromise a permanent scrapbook by putting pages into page protectors, something, Kelita says, she and the girls flip through from time to time exclaiming over their fun memories of Hideaways like the General Store or the Taj Mahal!

Great Books & Reading!

Read passages on each country’s history & culture, discovering thirty countries from all over. “Children of Many Lands” takes you on a tour of the geography of each country, and lets students get a “lay of the land.” Next, this book traces the country’s history, and takes you to major cities or landmarks, or shares information about a unique aspect of the nation. Each week’s reading ends up with a child sharing about his or her daily life, family, hobbies, school life, holidays, or favorite traditions.

Discovering Our World!

Geography is emphasized in a variety of ways. Students can learn a country’s geography with full-color country maps, and paste on landmark stickers. They’ll find & label places on write&wipe student maps and learn more with geography worksheets and country flashcards.

American History American Story 1 & 2 For Younger Learners in 1st-4th Grades American Story is the story of America told with richly visual books and delightful activities suited for young students.

These consecutive programs are each designed to last a year.

Beautiful, storytime-like books that capture the imagination High-interest subjects, such as colonial times, soldiering, invention, frontiersmen, world wars and space Wonderful focus on Native American and African American life and culture Easy-to-complete projects and interactive notebooking for young learners Three-dimensional maps that bring life to American happenings NOTE!

AllAmerican Sets feature the best of both programs combined so that you can teach multiple ages at once. Each set includes your guide free. A complete list of the books included in each set can be found online.

For the following year, you’ll buy only a second later American guide (AH1-152 - $29) and complete the books in this set. This program must be added to American Crossing and Culture or All-American I and II. Details are online.

Native American Focus Your student will love the Native American focus that lets them peek into Native American tepees, longhouses, or pueblos, and learn about the first Thanksgiving. There are just so many exciting places to visit! As you work through the year, you’ll meet the tribes that Spaniards encountered in the Southwest. Next you’ll discover peoples American settlers met as they first settled the Northeast coast, then the Atlantic seaboard. Then they’ll head to the midwest and Deep South, where Americans encountered new tribes as they spread west. Finally, you’ll meet the tribes that Lewis and Clark found as they traveled across the far-flung West. Along the way, students will discover the ways Native Americans farmed or hunted, or even built homes and household goods, based upon the natural resources available to them in their local region. You’ll discover how Southwestern tribes used cactus products or gourds, while western tribes made use of buffalo and northeastern tribes relied upon forest products.

By Sunday night, there was ice in the water, and by 11:40 that night the worst had happened -- the Titanic hit an iceberg. It took less than three hours for the so called “unsinkable” ship to slip under the sea.

What Students Will Enjoy in Royals

The Music, Art & Writing Focus! NPR Listener’s Encyclopedia of Classical Music QRR-501 $20 This outstanding classical music resource took eleven years to create, and when you open its page, you can see why. It features 1500 entries on composers, performers, instruments, musical terms, compositions, and historical periods. It is written as an overview to connect with everyone from novices to classical music fans, and to focus on those areas of classical music that are well represented on recordings and accessible to the general listener. Many clear, captioned black-and-white photos, primarily portraits, are included. Almost every entry for a composer, performer, or composition includes a small text box of Recommended Recordings for listening. Better still, this marvelous book contains a series of links to more than 500 musical selections on a website created by Naxos, a large classical music label. Readers can access more than 75 hours of music online using included instructions on accessing them on the web! Simply a great way to introduce students to classical music, and help them gain an appreciation and love for this music genre.

Shakespeare for Kids: His Life & Times

QRR-502 $17

Shakespeare for Kids is a perfect introduction to appreciating and understanding William Shakespeare’s lasting legacy. Shakespeare’s universal themes -- loyalty and betrayal, love and hate, honor and dishonor, to name but a few -- have imbued not only English literature but many other cultures worldwide. Inspired by scenes from Shakespeare’s plays, students can invent new words ad compose sonnets -- just as he did. They’ll also discover what daily life was like in the Elizabethan era, when Shakespeare lived. As they follow along with Shakespeare’s life, they’ll get a taste of the bard’s sublime craft and experience Elizabethan England in detail.

Dickens: His Work and World QRR-503 $11

The worlds of Charles Dickens -- both his personal one and the ones he created -- come alive in this intriguing book! The author begins with Dickens’s touring life and final London performance, then takes the reader through the writer’s humble beginnings and nomadic childhood. Like Dickens, the author pays particular attention to the people Dickens met, the sights he saw, and the situations he endured -- all of which were to find their way into his writings. Then he looks at 1800’s London, pointing out the societal changes that were to influence Dickens’s progressive thinking. Illustrations throughout the book of major characters in Dickens’s books give insight as to the detail of the people and worlds Dickens created. The author also investigates four major works of Dickens and helps explain some of the literary devices Dickens used in his quirky, detailed writing style.

Monet and the Impressionists for Kids

QRR-504 $18

Come and meet Claude Monet, Pierre Auguste Renoir, Edgar Degas, Mary Cassatt, Paul Cezenne, Paul Gauguin, and Georges Seurat in this introduction to the Impressionists. Each of these artists, who showed their works at one or more of the Impressionist exhibitions during the 1870’s and 1880’s, is profiled, and examples of their work shown in beautiful color. Sidebars along the way offer anecdotes and quotes that help students get to know the painters, and discuss the images they painted.

Language Arts Programs WP’s “Approach” to Language Arts Using Fun and Intriguing Resources to Motivate Students, WP’s Language Arts Programs Feature:

• • • • • •

& ents Par dents r Stu E Ou LOV guage Lan rts! A

An easy-going, fun approach influenced by Charlotte Mason ideals. Active learning opportunities, especially in early and middle elementary grade programs. Fun themes that keep students interested and motivated to read or complete workbook exercises Open-and-go workbooks students LOVE! and an easy-to-follow guidebook. Creative writing assignments that coordinate with the subjects in the themed programs, offering the strength of cross-curricular study. Sets that cover all the language arts skills appropriate to the grade: phonics, reading and reading comprehension, grammar and mechanics, spelling, vocabulary, handwriting, and creative writing.

Early Reading Programs

You’ll see we’ve aligned our language arts programs so it is easy to place your student as they reach “Milestones in Reading.” The younger language arts programs are labeled according to the reading skills at which each program begins and ends, as you see in the programs “Letters to Little Words” or “Paragraphs to Pages,” for instance. In these younger years, our language arts take a multi-faceted, interactive approach. From Pre-K to 2nd grade we include resources that encourage active learning. For instance, both the “Letters to Little Words” and “Syllables to Sentences” programs use a hands-on activity pack that has magnetic marbles, monkey playing pieces, colored sand, and more.

Middle Grade & High School Programs

As the language arts programs progress beyond reading and comprehension skills, they add easy-touse studies of grammar, cursive handwriting, vocabulary, and spelling, with scheduled reading. In the middle and early high school years, creative writing is practiced and the student’s communication skills are refined. Great literature is scheduled in junior and senior high packages, exposing them to wonderful classics and offering discussion and evaluation opportunities.

There’s So Much More Information Online about Language Arts!

Detail on our packages can be found online, including resource descriptions and skills covered. Find information about each fun program online at http://www.winterpromise.com/language_arts.html.

Students will practice more advanced phonograms and blends in exercises and stories of mayhem and mischief that the forest friends encounter. The program begins with students reading short passages of several paragraphs with controlled vocabulary. There will be some unfamiliar words that are new, and we expect that your student will still need some guidance while reading, at first. By the end of the year, most students will progress to reading short chapters. Throughout the year, students will enjoy reading games resources that will reinforce their decoding skills and increase reading comprehension, fluency and speed. They’ll also compile a word dictionary to which they’ll add their new words, aiding them in spelling skills, and helping them to remember the words they’re decoding. This program is for students who are ready to read short paragraphs with some help, and is designed for the student whose reading “key” has turned and is rapidly making strides in their reading. It includes the items listed below, and a guidebook that offers creative narration suggestions to coordinate with a student’s theme programs. ________________________________________________________________________

Print or Ebook Language Arts! Ebook Format - New Functionality & So Affordable!

You’ll love the functionality and flexibility of our ebook language arts programs for grades 3-6. Each program is an ebook collection that includes a guide and most of your language arts resources. These ebook collections are specially formatted to make them easy to view on a tablet or laptop, or print from your home printer and use. The language arts worktexts, for instance, can be printed as worksheets at home or in WP’s booklet format at Staples.

A Great Way to Save!

Best of all, your ebook purchase allows you to print as many copies of consumables as you need for your family. Printing consumables can really help you save on most language arts programs, as so many programs include several consumables.

New Choices for Readers - Another Great Idea.

Another change this year is that we are no longer selling readers as a part of our 3rd to 6th LA programs. With the advent of personal reading devices, tablets, smartphones, and laptops, more and more of these books are available in a less-expensive ebook format. Reader sets are still available as special order items, but we believe this offers flexibility to parents to choose to buy ebooks, or borrow books from a friend or library to reduce their homeschool costs. Instead, we are including eReading Schedules that schedule books and provide discussion questions (see below).

So What Do I Get?

We offer Ebook Sets, in which you receive electronic copies of guides and WP resources, and Digital + Print Sets in which you receive the ebook resources, but also get one print copy of each LA resource. In addition, each ebook collection includes an eReading Schedule. Each eReading Schedule includes a suggested schedule with the books listed, plus discussion and narration questions for the books suggested. Suggested readers are not included, but buying information is included in the schedule, and this gives parents the option to use ebooks or the library. ________________________________________________________________________

A dictionary tells you a lot of things about words. It tells you how the word is spelled, and how the word is divided into syllables. It also tells you how the word is pronounced using special phonetic symbols. These phonetic symbols are usually listed in the front of the dictionary, along with the sounds they make. A dictionary also gives a word's definition. A words definition can help you learn new words is what the word means. A dictionary or understand words you've heard or read in a book.

Timelines & Notebooking What is Involved in Notebooking? Notebooks are Created for Reinforcement, Review & Memory-Keeping

Notebooking is one of the most desirable ways to help your student remember day-to-day learning. WinterPromise offers some of the most outstanding notebooking available (if we do say so ourselves!) Students can: • • • • •

Paste timeline figures into our one-of-a-kind “Timelines in History” timeline book, below. Complete WinterPromise’s exclusive, interactive notebooking pages. These pages are offered as part of most of WP’s themed programs, to be collected each year a student uses WinterPromise. File these pages into their own “Timelines in History,” between blank spreads. Add other pages they make themselves -- things like their artwork, reports, mapping assignments on our “Old World Style” maps, our Field Trip Pages, charts, and more to literally “Make-Their Own” history book! Personalize their “Timelines in History” to create a scrapbook of homeschool memories they’ll never want to part with.

Old World Style “Timelines in History” - #TIME - $29 WinterPromise offers you a unique timeline resource, our “Timelines in History.” It is the first resource your student will need for notebooking. It acts as the “spine” into which all of the other notebooking resources are kept and filed. It is copied on heavy-duty cardstock and should last a student throughout their school years. Timeline building offers students a chance to get to know the flow of history through time by recording dates and events into a timeline book. Each student usually enjoys having his own, as it is a personal journal in which they can record any information they’d like, such as family events or things they learn in their own reading time. Our timeline differs from other similar resources in two key ways that help you with introducing “notebooking” into your studies. First, each page doesn’t just contain rows of meaningless numbers; instead, each page has an “old world style” background and descriptors of major movements, civilizations or events in history. From the “Middle Kingdom of Egypt” or “The Age of Exploration” to “Industrial Revolution,” these descriptors help students see how history flows and relates to real events. The second distinctive feature is its loose-leaf nature; it is three-hole punched and copied on only one side. This feature provides a blank spread in between each date spread. This means your student can file “MakeYour-Own” history pages, artwork, reports, photos, mapping assignments and more in between their timeline pages. Year after year, they’ll collect “Make-Your-Own” pages and their own work in this one resource. They’ll literally “Make-Their-Own” history book that will serve as a scrapbook of homeschool memories they’ll never want to part with.

Timeline Figures

Choose an Option that’s Right for You!

Timeline figures are a fun way to add to the color and flavor of a timeline book. Students cut out and paste the figures into their own “Timelines in History.” This year we’re offering you two choices for your Timeline figures: WinterPromise’s own colored timeline figures are available for some sets, and we also have larger sets created by Homeschool in the Woods. With each of our history-based studies, we also provide a week-by-week schedule that tells you when to use each figure (no matter which one you purchase).

Additional Notebooking Options

“Make-Your-Own” Pages Enhance Your Notebooking Experience

Our “Make-Your-Own” series is exclusive to WinterPromise and each one has pages that are informative and interactive! Our pages aren’t like some resources where each page is the same -- no, we’ve done the work to offer you many different pages that offer students chances to illustrate pages, write “newspaper” entries, create period placard signs, solve codes, and so much more. It’s a great way to reinforce daily work and a creative outlet for art-happy (and even not so art-happy) students. The pages can be collected and filed in between our “Timelines in History” resource, and added to year after year, so they’ll literally “Make-Their-Own” history book! Look for “Make-Your-Own” pages or “books” as part of themed program resource lists.

Notebooking Series - Field Trip Pages - #NBK-FIELD - $19 These creative pages provide students with additional templates to use as they record field trips or other family outings and file them in their “Timelines in History.” These pages are in full-color and able to be reproduced for your family members. Twenty-five different page formats allow students flexibility and creativity as they mount pictures and record memories from their outings or journal about what your family saw and experienced together.

Designed for students fifth grade and on up through high school, this resource will teach your student to “draw” the world. With step-by-step methods and creative memory devices, they’ll practice and learn to draw their world throughout the year. Memory tools will also help students learn and recall where to place the continent on latitude and longitude lines. Practical suggestions allow students to practice in small steps and gain mastery of drawing the continents with country boundaries. This resource can be completed this year, or could be used for several years, and is consumable. This stand-alone resource can be used over the course of a year or several years for grades 5-12. Recommended for “Children Around the World.” Consumable.

National Geographic Student Atlas - #ATL - $14

One of the highlights of this atlas is its beautiful digital pictures of continents from above the world. Showing different regions and major landforms, it gives you a birds-eye view of the globe. In addition, geographic and political maps are clear and well-labeled for every part of the world, and introductory material helps students with mapping concepts. We recommend this for use with any younger history program, but especially for “Children Around the World.” An atlas is necessary for “Children” if you don’t have one. This atlas is NOT included in that package, so parents who already own an atlas don’t have to re-purchase.

Atlas of World History - #WH-ATL - $50

REQUIRED FOR SOME PROGRAMS! With WinterPromise, each year’s program has mapping assignments. From about the fourth grade on up, and especially for high school, these mapping assignments require the use of a good world history atlas. A world history atlas has maps that are both historical (i.e., Asia during the rise of the Mongols), and topical (i.e., showing the spread of Islam or the rise of European commercial empires). This atlas provides a wealth of maps -- 450 of them -- and is divided into five sections: The Ancient World, the Medieval World, the Early Modern World, the Age of Revolutions, and the Twentieth Century. At over 300 pages, this atlas is comprehensive, and will be a valuable part of your family’s library and aid their schoolwork for years to come. This atlas (or another like it) is required for completion of mapping activities for Adventures in the Sea and Sky, Quest for the Ancient World, Quest for the Middle Ages, and Quest for Royals and Revolution, and page numbers for this atlas are referenced in the guides for these programs.

Math Programs Three Math Options: Featured Program: Life of Fred

This amazing program really connects with homeschoolers! Life of Fred books reach students like no other math books we’ve ever seen. They feature the character Fred, who discovers all sorts of useful facts and real-life examples, to demonstrate to the student how what they are using will be a part of their everyday lives. Each book is self-teaching, and the books are top quality hardcovers. A student will not write in it - you’ll use and reuse these wonderful books! What we love about these books is how they use stories from the humanities (history, culture or adventures) to teach math concepts! What a delight! Samples, as well as the scope and sequence of each book are online. Life of Fred: Life of Fred: Life of Fred: Life of Fred: Life of Fred: Life of Fred:

Horizons Math

Horizons Math has been a favorite with parents because it is so easy to use. Each grade has its own two worktexts, which are largely self-explanatory. They are full-color with interesting problems and illustrations, making this program a favorite with students as well. Pages are perforated so they can be removed for completion, if desired. We sell the worktexts separately, or we can special order the complete kit, which includes the teacher’s guide. Full details about the scope and sequence of each grade are online.

Saxon Math is a proven resource for homeschoolers. Why? Written by a homeschooling father, this series allows parents to work with students step-by-step to mastery of ever-greater concepts. Short lessons at the beginning of each lesson provide instruction in the day’s concept. Saxon’s primary strength is the way in which the concepts are presented; each day’s concept is a small expansion upon what has already been mastered by the student. The lessons are usually easily comprehended by the student as he is prepared for the next concept. This lightens the parental workload. Another of Saxon’s strengths is its constant review of concepts previously mastered. Each lesson has practice problems on the day’s concept, then follows up with questions from previous lessons to keep mastery fresh and students prepared to move forward. Books and prices are online.
