Adventure Down the Mississippi

If your children are learning at a snail's pace rather than by the leaps and bounds that you know they are capable of, if they are bored by textbooks, then this is a book that you will want to read. Written for parents who home school their children during the summer, holidays, or year round, it provides curriculum for a full nine months using Susan Kovalik's Integrated Thematic Instruction (ITI) model. It's all there for you--the key points (concepts, skills, and significant facts you want all children to learn) and inquiries (action-based activities which enable children to apply what they are learning to real world situations). The curriculum integrates all subjects and basic skills (science, social studies, art, music, and drama plus reading, writing, math, listening, and speaking). It's all right at your fingertips! In addition, the last chapter explains how you can modify the curriculum to better fit your locale or the interests of your children and provide a concise, readily understandable overview of how the human brain learns. The accompanying video, AT HOME WITH ITI, allows you to see ITI in action. It's almost like being there yourself!Kendrick, Karen C. is the author of 'Adventure Down the Mississippi', published 1993 under ISBN 9781878631121 and ISBN 1878631128.
