The 5th grade reading comprehension lessons in this Pathway Readers homeschool curriculum is filled with wholesome traditional values.
The Pathway Reader program makes teaching your reading lesson easy. This 80 page workbook has been prepared especially for fifth graders in a home school, parochial, or other small classroom environment. Specifically designed to accompany the LIVING TOGETHER reader, this workbook was prepared not only with the children in mind, but their teacher was also considered. This workbook has been designed so as to allow the children to work independently with a minimum of teacher assistance. There are workbook pages that go with each story. Before the story is read, the "Working with Words" should be done. The children should be encouraged to do these on their own as much as possible but it is important that the children should know how to pronounce each new word before they attempt to fill any blanks.
The ‘Thinking about the Stories" pages should be done after the story has been read in class. The children should again be encouraged to do all the work on their own, using their textbooks whenever they are needed.
It is important to discuss the stories and the morals in them with the children. Always be sure the lesson is clear to the children.
No teacher should try to teach the lessons in this book without the help of the Teacher's Edition containing the detailed instructions and suggestions for teaching the curriculum, and the lesson answers.
You can purchase the LIVING TOGETHER Student Workbook separately here or as part of the LIVING TOGETHER 5th Grade Complete Set!

Enthusiasm is your keyword
The attitude with which children tackle their lessons is often a reflection of their teacher's attitude. Therefore the importance of showing enthusiasm can not be overstressed.
Learning should be an interesting, challenging experience that lasts even beyond the time the pupil attends school. If the interest and ambition to learn is not instilled into the child when he is young, there is a danger that he will never really enjoy learning. Though a child's education begins long before he starts to school, you must remember that his first actual experience in book learning lies in his teacher's hands. How she guides him could very easily determine the type of pupil he will be throughout his years in school. And it does not stop there. One writer said, "As the morning is to the day, so is the child to the man." As we can expect a bright, sunny morning to turn out to be a nice day, an industrious, willing pupil can be expected to become just that type of grown-up.
Since a teacher's enthusiasm rubs off on her pupils, you should never be afraid to say, "This page looks interesting. You'll like doing it." Never, never tell students their work isn't hard or it isn't important. Let them feel as if they have accomplished something, even if it is only a simple lesson. In order to be effective, the teacher must see the lessons through their students' eyes. She must imagine herself in their place and take an interest in the things that interest them. It is only when children have gained confidence in their teacher and confidence in themselves that they enjoy school. And only when they enjoy school will they tackle their lessons with enthusiasm. |
