This is the 2009 edition of the Teacher Books. It's the national edition. Treasures is a THOROUGH language arts curriculum. Themes go across the curriculum. It's based on 4-Blocks Reading with a HEFTY integration of 6+1 Writing Traits. Graphic organizers are initially incorporated in the early years, yet almost seamlessly.... it truly makes sense, not confusion. Each year, TRULY BUILDS on the ones before. This program is not just about phonics, decoding and spelling...... this program is about using THE BRAIN from life as well as what is taught in the classroom. Lots of reading materials, genres, fiction keep children interested and THINKING. I am a homeschool mom, and my 8 year old goes to public school. I plan on my 6 year old to go next fall. After working w/my oldest and seeing the LEVEL of comprehension that he acquired I HAD to use this program. None of the rest were even close! I like to compare it to Saxon math, the same concepts are presented all through the year (and grade levels)...... and built upon NOT just by instruction but good ole' puttin' 2 + 2 together. I LOVE those 'A HA!' moments, don't you? If you like, let me know and I'll be glad to upload the rest of what I've got (all of grade 2, half of 3 and select workbooks from the rest as well as a few units).
