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.

Sample

These English Grammar Recitation flashcards include all of the rules from English Grammar Recitation in an easy-to-drill flashcard format.

Sample

English Grammar Recitation I Student Workbook 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.

Timeline Handbook 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.

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 program covers constellations, the motion of the earth, and the names of stars, as well as the sky as seen throughout all the seasons, including the "Summer Triangle" and the fall and winter zodiacs. Since the constellations are named after many characters in Greek mythology, D'Aulaires Greek Myths is a great resource to have on hand with this program. The Book of Astronomy was developed with 3rd graders in mind, but it can be used with older students just as well.

In this initial Fable stage, students look at a single story or idea and begin learning how to use words to engage the imagination of the audience. They master the structures of thought or ideas that go into a narrative and learn to create recognition by using figures of description.

They also discover that words are symbols representing ideas, and as writers they can communicate the same idea using a variety of words and sentence structures.
