Memoria Press' English Grammar Recitation is unique because it is consistent with the trivium stages of learning. It emphasizes memorization of facts first as the necessary preparation for the logic-level skills of diagramming and analysis. It covers common capitalization and punctuation rules, and approximately 150 grammar facts in a logical and systematic sequence. English Grammar Recitation Handbook is a comprehensive list of all the grammar facts covered in our English Grammar Recitation program.

English Grammar Recitation I Student Workbook, Second Edition Sample

English Grammar Recitation I Student Workbook, Second Edition is tied specifically to the grammar taught in Latina Christiana, but it can be used successfully alongside any Latin program. Students will master (and be able to recite fluently) 31 grammar rules, 10 capitalization rules, and 15 punctuation rules.

Brief exercises, including some diagramming, do accompany these grammar questions; however, the mastery of the English grammar catechism is the primary goal of this course, not its application. English Grammar Recitation also covers capitalization and punctuation through recitation. Students recite the rules and demonstrate their correct use through dictation of model sentences. It is hoped that this course can be completed in much less time than the typical English grammar course, leaving more time for composition and Latin.

Meet the Moffats. There is Sylvie, the oldest, the cleverest, and—most days at least—the responsible one; Joey, though only twelve, is the man of the house ... sometimes; Janey has a terrific upside-down way of looking at the world; and Rufus may be the littlest but always gets in the biggest trouble.

The Moffats Student  Guide

The Moffats by Eleanor Estes tells the story of four children living with their mother in a small town in Connecticut during World War I. The stories revolve around the two youngest children, Janey and Rufus, and the family's adventures as they wait for their house to sell.

The Moffats Teacher Sample

"Even the most ordinary Moffat day is packed with extraordinary fun. Only a Moffat could get locked in a bread box all afternoon, or dance with a dog in front of the whole town, or hitch a ride on a boxcar during kindergarten recess. And only a Moffat could turn mistakes and mischief into hilarious one-of-a-kind adventure." (from the publisher)

Composition & Sketchbook Sample

Students will master a total of 60 events over the course of four years (3rd-6th grades). History is a very unsystematic subject, and time is very abstract. Students need a timeline that they memorize, build on, and recite every year.

This book will be completed over the four-year period in which this timeline is completed. Each event has a 2-page spread with a picture frame for illustrating the event on one side, and a page of blank lines for writing a summary of the event on the other.

The Golden Children's Bible Sample

The Golden Children’s Bible was chosen because of its slightly simplified, but poetically appealing, King James text, along with its beautiful and age-appropriate illustrations. This is important because we believe students should learn to revere the Bible as a sacred book, distinct from modern adventure stories with cartoon heroes.

Help your student become versed in the central facts of the Old Testament. These cards can be used with our Christian Studies courses, independently, or with other Bible courses. What creature was the "most cunning of beasts"? What is Latin for "the image of God"? What is the name for the "feast celebrating Exodus"? There's no better way to know your Bible.

Memory Verse Flashcards List of Verses

The first step in understanding the Bible is simply knowing what it says. These Memory Verse Flashcards will ground your students in the key verses of the Bible in a way that will not only enable them to learn Biblical teachings, but that will form their minds as they become adults. Memory is a skill that must be developed, and how can you develop it better than by using the Bible?

The Book of Astronomy was developed with 3rd graders in mind, but it can be used with older students just as well.
