English VI

In English VI, students learn English grammar as they improve their skills to write and speak effectively.

By completing the text students will:

• Recognize phrases, clauses, simple and compound sentences

• Identify nouns, pronouns, adjectives, verbs, adverbs, prepositions and conjunctions

• Learn diagramming

As with each workbook in Seton's English for Young Catholics series students will develop an appreciation for using correct grammar while incorporating the Catholic Faith as they learn. While most of the exercises in this book teach students to identify parts of speech, writing original sentences using the parts of speech is regularly assigned.

Vocabulary 6 for Young Catholics. Each lesson in the Vocabulary 6 for Young Catholics text begins with a reading selection which is designed to be fun and entertaining in order to motivate students to want to learn new vocabulary words or different meanings of words. Each reading section contains 15 new vocabulary words. Students are more apt to learn vocabulary words when they observe them used in sentences and within the context of an interesting story. There are several types of exercises incorporated in the lessons to help student retain these new words. These methods include repetition and memorizing words and their meanings, looking up words in a dictionary, identifying words in a list, comparing similar words and contrasting opposite words in sentences, identifying words in a crossword puzzle, and an optional exercise using the thesaurus to find synonyms and antonyms. Students will also discover that the meaning of a particular word may change when it is used as a different part of speech (noun, adjective, etc). One of the goals of this new Seton text is to have students use these new vocabulary words in their speech and in their writing exercises, which will help enhance their assignments in other courses. 

Word Roots Level 1 - Learning the Building Blocks of Better Spelling and Vocabulary (Grades 5-12+).

These award-winning books teach the meaning and spelling of roots, prefixes, and suffixes that are the elements used to form words in English. Learning these word elements dramatically improves spelling and the ability to decode unfamiliar words.

The activities focus on using these words in context to help students incorporate each word into their vocabulary and retain the correct spelling. There are periodic reviews to make sure students retain what is taught in the lessons. Word Roots will add hundreds of words to your students' vocabulary and greater depth to their thinking and writing.

Each lesson has the meanings of prefixes, roots, and suffixes used to form the vocabulary words.
