Mosdos Literature is a complete literature program that does not glamorize evil, nor present subject matter that is not age-appropriate. Neither does it portray as normal a cynical disregard for positive values, but reinforces the universal ideals of courage, honesty, loyalty, and compassion.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Nearly 2 decades ago Mosdos Press launched a unique literature series that would teach all of the necessary language arts skills through a curriculum that promotes traditional values. Readings are from both classic and contemporary works that are wholesome, and stress both caring for others, and a concern for the natural world.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Mosdos Literature begins with the Student Reader, which is beautifully illustrated using a generous amount of full color photographs, color drawings, and black-and-white pictures. From the beginning, Mosdos committed to collecting into the Student Readers only the most engaging, morally rich, and intellectually challenging selections of fiction, nonfiction, poetry, drama, the novella, and for the older grades, novels. Before each story in the Student Reader, there is an introduction to the story and an explanation of some facet of literature. That literary focus can include what is a character, theme, internal and external conflicts, setting, climax, foreshadowing, and more. This literary component is developed and illuminated through the stories. Vocabulary words that might be unfamiliar are presented in boxes on the pages where the word first appears in the account. The stories are followed not just by the classic review questions designed to assess reading comprehension, but also by more complex questions that require thoughtful analysis. Every unit – there are several per book – concludes with activities such as writing a short skit, doing a craft, or memorizing a poem. Pick the ones that best suit your child; there are far too many to do them all.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Next is the consumable and engaging Student Activity Workbook that works to expand the value of the Mosdos curriculum. For nearly every story in the Student Reader, the workbook contains corresponding vocabulary, creative writing, or comprehension questions, while also providing extended reinforcement of the literary elements being taught. These assignments help you to evaluate areas of progress in your child and concepts that might require additional work. The advantage of Mosdos Press is that the literature, vocabulary, and writing components all tie together, giving your child a chance to truly understand what was taught by approaching it in a variety of ways. Student Activity Workbooks vary by grade levels. For younger grades there are more word games and puzzles for vocabulary practice, activities that focus on various language arts skills, and brief composition work. In older grades the puzzles and games gradually decrease while increasing the amount of writing.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Each Teacher’s Edition is detailed and well-organized. Through great commentary plus questions and answers, the Teacher’s Edition will make lively discussions with your child possible. Homeschooling parents will appreciate that Mosdos Press did not assume any level of expertise or teaching degree when preparing their Teacher Editions, so whether new or experienced, anyone can teach literature. Each page of the Student Reader is duplicated at a smaller size in the Teacher’s Edition, still abundantly easy to read. Information is arranged in the ample margins around these replicated pages, discussing the literary components found in each story with clear, concise explanations. Of course, the Teacher’s Guide also includes the answers for the Student Activity Workbook. This makes teaching a lot easier for every homeschool parent.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e So if you are homeschooling a child in grades three through eight and want a literature program that will encourage wholesome values but you are not comfortable with religious content, Mosdos Press fills this need with academic excellence and thought-provoking selections. The stories are colorful, engaging, and while not religious, they still reflect good precepts.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"product-single__features-title\"\u003eFeatures\u003c\/div\u003e\u003ciframe width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/NP0zsi_4-bU?rel=0\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"autoplay; encrypted-media\" allowfullscreen=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003ciframe width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/rp0kBB5Ll3A?rel=0\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"autoplay; encrypted-media\" allowfullscreen=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/mosdospress.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/5th-Grade-Student-Edition-LI-Sample.pdf\" target=\"new\"\u003eDownload PDF Student Edition Sample\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003cbr\u003e \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/mosdospress.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/5th-Grade-Workbook-LI-Sample.pdf\" target=\"new\"\u003eDownload PDF Student Activity Workbook Sample\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003cbr\u003e \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/mosdospress.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/5th-Grade-Teacher-Edition-LI-Sample.pdf\" target=\"new\"\u003eDownload PDF Teacher's Edition Sample\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eLiterature Bundle Includes:\u003cbr\u003e\u003cli\u003eStudent Reader\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003eWorkbook\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003eTeacher's Edition\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Extra Student Pack Includes:\u003cbr\u003e\u003cli\u003eStudent Reader\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003eWorkbook\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003eFaith-Based:\u003c\/i\u003e No\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003e\u003cb\u003eStudent Edition\u003cb\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e \u003ci\u003ePages:\u003c\/i\u003e 682\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/i\u003e 2005\u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003eISBN:\u003c\/i\u003e 9780974216041\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003e\u003cb\u003eTeacher's Edition\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e \u003ci\u003ePages:\u003c\/i\u003e 682+\u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003eBinding:\u003c\/i\u003e Spiral-bound in two parts\u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/i\u003e 2005\u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003eISBN:\u003c\/i\u003e 9780974216034\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003e\u003cb\u003eStudent Activity Workbook\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e \u003ci\u003ePages:\u003c\/i\u003e 201\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/i\u003e 2005\u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003eISBN:\u003c\/i\u003e 9780974216096","brand":"Mosdos Press","offers":[{"title":"Literature Bundle","offer_id":35290450952356,"sku":"717-050","price":175.0,"currency_code":"PLN","in_stock":true},{"title":"Extra Student Pack","offer_id":35290450985124,"sku":"717-055","price":91.25,"currency_code":"PLN","in_stock":true},{"title":"Student Reader Only","offer_id":35290451017892,"sku":"717-056","price":68.0,"currency_code":"PLN","in_stock":true},{"title":"Student Workbook Only","offer_id":35290451050660,"sku":"717-057","price":26.95,"currency_code":"PLN","in_stock":true},{"title":"Literature Bundle - Kit Item","offer_id":35290451083428,"sku":"717-050","price":0.0,"currency_code":"PLN","in_stock":true},{"title":"Kit Item - Student Workbook","offer_id":35290451116196,"sku":"717-057","price":0.0,"currency_code":"PLN","in_stock":true},{"title":"Kit Item - Student Workbook Only","offer_id":35290451148964,"sku":"717-057","price":0.0,"currency_code":"PLN","in_stock":true},{"title":"Extra Student Pack - Kit Item","offer_id":35290451181732,"sku":"717-055","price":0.0,"currency_code":"PLN","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0436\/9045\/9300\/products\/5th-Coral-Bundle_IMG_9721.jpg?v=1595333044","url":"https:\/\/timberdoodleshort-com.myshopify.com\/products\/mosdos-press-literature-coral-5th-grade","provider":"timberdoodleshort.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
