CURRICULUM OVERVIEWKINDERGARTEN 1 AND 2

Teaching your child to read is one of the highlights of education. But how can you know when your child is ready for this impor-tant s tep? How should you proceed once he is ready? Christian Light’s early education program can help you answer these ques tions.

Beginning with Kindergarten 1, your 4-to-5 year-old can enjoy short periods of pre-reading activities a few times a week. As he matures, the frequency and duration of these lessons can gradually increase.

When you sense that your child is ready to begin s tudying phonics (typically at 5 to 6 years of age), he can move into Kindergarten 2, which will finish preparing him for Christian Light’s firs t grade program. While K2 was made to especially prepare the child for Christian Light’s Learning to Read program, it may be used successfully with any reading program.

Each level of kindergarten has its own teacher’s guide. The Teacher’s Guides give detailed lesson ins tructions, including extra activ-ities in motor skills, Bible memory, songs, (poems in K2), and s tories. Reproductions of s tudent pages with answers are included. No separate Answer Keys are available.

Sunrise editions of language arts include our continuous review sys tem, which means that your children learn concepts in small increments that are reviewed often. There’s no better way to build and maintain a solid base of language skills.

Language Arts 100 is designed to be used with Chris tian Light’s Learning to Read program, but cor-relates well with any good phonics-based learning to read program.

CURRICULUM OVERVIEW

Sunrise 2nd Edition Learning to Read

Learning to Read is a total program introducing the beginning firs t grader to the basics of all the language arts areas. The beginner learns the sound of a letter and how to write it. He learns how to blend sounds together to both spell and read words.

The lessons of Learning to Read cover visual discrimination, lis tening, handwriting, phonics, spelling, and reading. The other subjects for firs t grade are coordinated with Learning to Read and are begun before its completion. This ties the firs t grade curriculum together and provides a solid foundation which helps the child develop good work habits for independent s tudy.

A picture card, s tory, and rhyme are used to introduce 21 consonants, four consonant digraphs, and the long and short vowel sounds. The key picture on each card begins with the sound of the letter printed underneath. The s tory and rhyme are centered around that key picture and usually contain many words with the new sound. The children learn the rhyme and repeat it frequently throughout the les-son and in following lessons to help rivet the sound in their minds as they associate the letter and key picture. The s tory also contains a moral or draws the child’s mind to the greatness of God’s creation or God’s care for him. The s tudents develop lis tening comprehension by answering ques tions about each s tory.

The workbook also provides a variety of activities. There is a picture to color like the key picture for that sound, a page with writing practice, a page drilling likenesses and differences, and several pages of pictures with lines to write the beginning sound or the vowel sound. As the child advances, there are also words to sound and s tories to read.

After 35 basic sounds have been introduced, the lessons generally include a two-page s tory with ques tions to answer, a page for writ-ing practice, and a phonics page. The phonics page continues drill on sounding words and marking vowels as well as introducing more advanced concepts such as consonant blends, various spellings for long vowel sounds, and variant vowel sounds.

The Teacher’s Guide gives detailed s tep-by-s tep ins tructions showing how to teach each lesson and is an indispensable component of the Learning to Read program. Other features of the guidebooks include a comprehensive outline of each lesson; answers for the LightUnits; a summary of sounds, markings, and phonetic rules; teaching tips; and enrichment activities. There is also a lis t of activities for kines thetic reinforcement, some sugges ted games for reinforcing concepts taught, and a lis t of rhythmic descriptions for all manuscript letters. This is followed by a glossary of terms. Daily and yearly schedules are given to assis t in planning. A chart shows initial concentration on Learning to Read with a slower sequence in Bible and math and a later introduction to language arts followed by a reading program (separate Teacher Guides provide direction for each of these courses).

Before teaching Learning to Read, the teacher should s tudy Basics for Beginners, the Christian Light training LightUnit for firs t grade teachers. This gives a thorough introduction to the Learning to Read curriculum and also includes a section of phonics for teachers with an accompanying CD.

CURRICULUM OVERVIEW

Sunrise Edition Mathematics

Christian Light Sunrise Math (Grades 1-8) uses the incremental method of teaching. Each Sunrise Math LightUnit introduces small increments from several branches of mathematics simultaneously. Mos t of each day’s lesson concentrates on rotating review of previously-learned concepts. This cons tant review helps s tu-dents mas ter math concepts with a daily variety of material. Teacher’s Guides are essential for Grades 1-2, recommended for Grades 3-4, and useful for math teachers of higher levels.

Memorization of the basic number facts in all four operations is emphasized in the firs t four grades, using daily oral exercises, our own built-in flash-card sys tem, and daily speed drills with charts that give each child visible evidence of his/her progress. Basic geometry, the money sys tem, problem solving, mental math, and number patterns are also introduced early and cons tantly reviewed for mas tery.

The metric and U.S. sys tems of measurement are taught simultaneously with equal emphasis. Hands-on exercises teach concepts of space and quantity early in the curriculum.

Beginning in Grade 5, basic algebra concepts are incorporated along with more complex arithmetic skills such as long division, decimals, and fraction operations. True-to-life s tory problems with a Biblical worldview help children unders tand how math permeates daily life.

Grades 7 and 8 assume mas tery of basic arithmetic and concentrate on consumer math, geometry, and pre-al-gebra. Students who successfully complete Sunrise Math 700–800 should be able to move directly into any basic Algebra 1.

The firs t LightUnit in each grade level, beginning with Math 201, is a review of concepts that should have been mas tered in the previous grade. These “-01” LightUnits may be used as diagnos tic tools along with, or in

place of, our Math Diagnos tic Tes ts to determine whether new or incoming s tu-dents are ready for the res t of that level.

Each of the remaining nine LightUnits in levels 200–800 has a special-interes t theme that appears in s tory problems, nuggets of information, and in some of the teaching lessons. For ins tance, Math 400 focuses on different countries of the world; Math 600 gives facts about famous mathematicians in his tory; and Math 700-800 devote each LightUnit to a particular occupation.

Having mas tered basic concepts and skills in Grades 1-8, the s tudent proceeds to the s tudy of more advanced mathematics in levels 900 through 1200.

CURRICULUM OVERVIEW

Science

Beginning with God’s creation, the science series teaches the s tudent about himself and his environment. It emphasizes God as creator and sus tainer of the universe. In teaching scientific facts and truths, it seeks to honor the Creator—all laws are God’s laws; all life is God’s life; all truth is God’s truth.

Level 100 (a five-LightUnit course) is optional in order to provide the s tudent more time for the Reading curriculum. At this level reading is the mos t important subject since it is the basis for progress in every other subject. Level 200 is supplemental and not required.

Levels 100 through 800 teach basic knowledge about man and his physical environment and emphasize our “s tewardship” responsibility toward God’s creation. Health s tudies—addressing proper nutrition, hygiene, and disease—form part of the content of these levels.

Levels 900 through 1200 teach general science, biology, chemis try, and physics.Independent and interes ting inves tigations and experiments allow s tudents to experience God’s creation

firs thand and to learn wise s tewardship of His resources.

CURRICULUM OVERVIEW

Social Studies

The social s tudies curriculum begins with a s tudy of the s tudent’s family and neighborhood relationships then expands to include the United States and the world. Special emphasis is placed on God at work in the world and the Chris tian way of peace and love.

The series develops a sys tem of social values based on God’s revealed Word, recognizing the New Tes tament as God’s final revelation to men. The way of salvation through Chris t is presented as the only remedy for the sins of mankind, both individually and socially. The spread of the Gospel of salvation is presented as the responsibility of the Chris tian community.

In this series, textbooks are used (or are being developed) for a number of the grade levels. LightUnits have been developed to be used along with the texts. Reading integration is also a part of the social s tudies LightUnits in the lower levels.

The 100 and 200 levels are five-LightUnit courses. They are optional in order to give the s tudent more time for Language Arts.
