StoryTime Treasures Student & Teacher Set
Grade 1- First Semester
Second Edition
Students who have completed First Start Reading Books A-D successfully are prepared to read Little Bear early in first grade as part of our StoryTime Treasures Set. But even Little Bear, which is a level 1 I Can Read Book, has many sight words and advanced phonograms that students either haven’t learned or hasn’t mastered. It is the nature of English that simple common words are often irregular or have advanced phonograms. This is what causes the transition from phonics to reading in English to be so difficult. These preparatory skills are not for mastery learning but rather exposure to the more advanced phonograms students are seeing in their literature. It takes much practice and phonetic support in first grade for the student to become a fluent reader. All phonetic support to aid in student success is included within the StoryTime Teacher Guide.

Description from Memoria:
"We have looked, and we cannot find an American history study on a grammar school level that we think rivals H. A. Guerber’s two-volume American history set from the turn of the 20th century. So, rather than settle for lesser quality, we have combined Guerber’s The Story of the Thirteen Colonies and The Great Republic into one edited volume that makes it a perfect one year survey of American history for the middle school years."
"As a supplement to Guerber's The Story of the Thirteen Colonies & the Great Republic, we have complied a list of 200 questions that everyone should know about American History. This little books comes with a teacher key. The questions come directly from the text and from Story of the World Volume IV.
With these books, students will get a good grounding in American History."
If you don't already have it you will want Story of the World Volume 4.
