Write with the Best Volumes I and II

Educational Diagnostic Prescriptive Services offer homeschool writing curricula, vocabulary based on Greek and Latin roots, and a guide to career, college and high school planning. I was able to request two products for review and I chose Write with the Best Volumes I and II. Having heard of this program before, but not actually seen or used it myself, I was intrigued by the premise of learning better writing skills through reading and analyzing great works of literature. This makes complete sense to me, as I've always heard and believed that the best writers are also avid readers. Reading aloud and assigning good books to be read individually is a huge part of my homeschool, as I believe you learn a multitude of skills through reading great books (vocabulary, writing, spelling, history, etc.).

Write with the Best Volume I is designed for grades 3-12. There is a "How To Use This Program" section in the front that I really appreciate. The author gives you a suggested time period of eighteen weeks per unit, studying each unit for two weeks, but then adds that taking a full year is perfectly fine. She stresses that mastery of the skill is what's important, not moving through the material at any certain speed. Adapting the curriculum to meet the needs of your student is recommended (for instance, reading aloud if needed). Copying of student pages for your family only is allowed (and encouraged).

Units are divided into days, making it easy to just flip open the book and get started. You begin by reading an excerpt from a work of literature. Volume I contains excerpts from 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea, A Christmas Carol, Robinson Crusoe, The Wind in the Willows, The Gift of the Magi, Aesop's Fables, Treasure Island, and poetry by Wordsworth and Longfellow. It covers writing descriptive paragraphs, dialogue, short stories, a fable, a friendly letter, and poetry.

After reading the excerpt, there are objectives for each day that help the student write their paragraph (or story or poem) in a step by step fashion. I like that the author does not assume the student already knows the mechanics of writing (which I find is too often the case in many writing programs) but actually teaches them bit by bit as they work through the lessons. It's not quite self instructional, I need to sit down with my daughter at the beginning of the lesson and discuss the assignment. I haven't found it to be a huge time commitment for parent or student though, because the manner in which the objectives are broken down makes it less intimidating and more doable.

Write with the Best Volume II continues teaching writing by studying and modeling world literature. This one is designed for grades 6-12 and contains excerpts from Emily Dickinson, Helen Keller, Thomas Paine, Francis Bacon, Edgar Allan Poe, Ernest Hemingway, Cicero, and William Shakespeare. It covers poetry, business letters, taking notes, essays, critiques and reviews, articles, a speech, and a dramatic monologue. The set up mirrors Volume I, so it should be an easy transition from the first volume into the next.

I began using this with my daughter and then put it aside to dig into another review product in the same genre. We are planning to return to this next week, as I prefer the bite size day by day instructions given in this program. Having all good things to say about the volumes themselves, I do have to admit that I did not like the e-book method of receiving them. When purchasing the e-book, you must install a special reader and then may only print the book twice and you need to print it in it's entirety. The main benefits to e-books, in my opinion, is the ability to print what you need, when you need it. Basically, you are purchasing this as a book that you print yourself and place in a binder. Your other option is to order the pages pre-printed, as this is not offered in any other type of hardcopy.

If you're interested in this program, you may download the first two units of Volume I and the first unit of Volume II as a free sample. I love when vendors do this! It's so nice to be able to see the product first hand and determine if it's a good fit for your family.

The e-book version of Volume I is currently on sale for $14.95 (regularly $19.95) or you can order the pages pre-printed for $22.45. A 3-ring binder to hold the pages is available for an additional $24.95. For Volume II, the e-book version is currently on sale for $18.65 (regularly $24.95) or you can order the pages pre-printed for $27.45. A 3-ring binder to hold the pages is available for an additional $29.95.

The One Year Book of Inspiration for Girlfriends by Ellen Miller

...juggling Not-So-Perfect, Often-Crazy, but Gloriously Real Lives. The subtitle of this book caught me right away. Oh boy, do I resemble that one! The One Year Book of Inspiration for Girlfriends seemed like something designed for someone like me- imperfect, crazy, and sometimes way too real.

Author Ellen Miller is CEO of a technology marketing firm who began blogging about three years ago, hoping to encourage her friends. She attracted thousands of readers and her musings have been turned into a book of 365 daily readings full of encouragement and inspiration to "live a life of profound joy".

Each day is no more than a page long and ends with either a Scripture verse of encouragement or a prayer from the author's heart. These are personal reflections from her life, complete with stories from work and home. While not agreeing with the author on everything she writes, I found many of the readings to be encouraging and enjoyable. I wouldn't recommend this as your sole devotional study, but more as blog entries from a woman just as imperfect as yourself and yet relying on the Lord for everything in her life and encouraging the rest of us to do the same. As that, it's a cute book.

The One Year Book of Inspiration for Girlfriends retails for $14.99 and is available at your favorite online or local bookstore.

College Prep Genius DVD-Part II

College Prep Genius is a course designed to raise SAT scores and help your students eligibility for college scholarships. This course developed out of author Jean Burk's classes that she began teaching in Texas and then branched out all over the United States. For those who are unable to take her class or bring her out to speak, she has placed her entire program on DVD. Her
Master the Sat Class includes a 10 hour DVD set, a textbook, and a workbook.

This is Part II of a two-part review. To see Part I, please click HERE.

We placed the first DVD in the DVD player and began watching disc one. I was surprised to discover that instead of seeing a woman lecturing, we were viewing words on the screen with a voice over by the author. I find this more difficult to listen to for some reason but my daughter pointed out that this makes it easier to comprehend for her, as she is both hearing and reading the information. Good point.

We referenced the workbook as we watched the DVD and discovered that much of the DVD info is in the workbook, but it does make more sense after watching the DVD. Much of the test taking strategy involves learning the recurring patterns and strategies. The author uses acronyms to help in memorizing these, many of them quite long.

I mentioned in Part I that I was unable to find a suggested schedule for working through this material. That schedule is found on the first disc and explains how you can earn $500 an hour for college by spending many hours studying and memorizing this course. This would be a good course for those looking to score high on the PSAT's and SAT's in order to receive scholarships to college and in fact, this seems to be the audience intended.

We are not that audience and found this course to be a bit overwhelming. Even so, we did find helpful information in the 13 Myths of the SAT. For those looking for an intense, complete SAT Prep course, this should fit the bill.

College Prep Genius is currently offering a 30% off limited time special price of $79 for the set. They're also offering FREE shipping and handling to our readers through November 15, 2009. Just use the coupon code: HSBlog09

Stand: Diving Into God's Words by Alex McFarland

Part of a three book devotional series, Stand: Diving Into God's Words focuses on helping teens to "fall in love with Scripture". Alex McFarland digs into Psalm 119 and pulls out eleven topics, one per chapter. He covers God, Scripture, Relationships, Prayer, Truth, Happiness, Blessings, Priorities, Troubles, Attitude, and Goals. A reading guide can be found in the back with room to jot down a personal reflection or "jewel" for each day.

My fourteen year old is currently using this as a personal devotion study. He loves the look of it; it's small and skinny and has a glossy, colorful cover. The design makes you want to pick it up and at least flip through it. I know a book can't be judged by it's cover, but it doesn't hurt to be attractive either.

The design appeal continues throughout the book, making it easy to read. Thankfully, the content is just as good as the design. At approximately ten pages a chapter, there's enough there to chew on but not so much as to be overwhelming. The writing is easy to understand but with the depth I am looking for in a teen devotional. As I was reading through myself, there was enough for me to contemplate and consider. I enjoyed the short biographical illustrations as well, as did my son.

At only eleven chapters, it's a rather short devotional. I'm thinking maybe that's why it's a three part series? Breaking it up into three smaller books is less intimidating to the average teenager than a larger book that would last for a longer period of time.

This could also be used as a jumping off point for those who teach teenagers in a church setting or for great discussions with your homeschooled junior/senior high schooler. I believe it would work well with boys and/or girls, probably grade six and up.

Stand: Diving Into God's Words by Alex McFarland is available for $12.99 from your favorite online or local bookstore.

A Journey Through Learning: Lapbooks and Unit Studies

I admit it. I'm a Lapbooker. I love all the little mini books and funky folds. I'd probably want to make Lapbooks all on my own, but thankfully I have kids so I can fold paper to my hearts content and no one will think anything of it.

We used to Lapbook A LOT. Last year, not so much and I MISSED it. You know what I missed most? Having those books to treasure for years to come. Every once in awhile I take out the Lapbooks my now sixteen and eighteen year olds made years ago and flip through them and get all sentimental and misty eyed at viewing their work.

Memories.

Lapbooks create memories and will be treasured long after all the workbooks and worksheets are tossed in the garbage somewhere. I know, some of you are just NOT Lapbook people, and that's okay, but if you are then you'll understand my excitement when I was given a sampling of Lapbooks to try out from A Journey Through Learning.

This company publishes Lapbooks and Unit Studies. These are created by two homeschool moms for homeschool moms (and dads, if they are so inclined!). Most contain all the research already done for you, so you can just print and go. They carry subjects ranging from seasons to science to states. There are lapbooks for holidays and history. They even carry mini Lapbooks, for those who may want a shorter time commitment.

We decided to start with The Desert Lapbook with Study Guide. I printed the instructions on regular copy paper and the Lapbook illustrations and books on card stock. I find the card stock to be longer lasting and since we're creating memories, it's worth the extra cost to me.

I found the instructions easy to follow but am not sure if that would be the case if I were new to Lapbooking. Newbies may need to Google Lapbook folds for a quick course in the folds and cuts. We cut and folded and sat down to get started with the Study Guide.

The Study Guide consists of information regarding the topic that the student can read (I was creating one book with four children, so I read aloud) and then use to fill out the mini books. Sometimes the requested information was easy to find, sometimes it was much more difficult. The child writes the information into the mini book and then glues it onto the file folder. Directions for placement are given.

This is a cut, fold, and fill in type study. My kids enjoy drawing and coloring and the like, so they were rather disappointed in this. I have a friend whose kids despise coloring, so this may be a better fit for them. This type of Lapbook is a good alternative to reading and answering questions, it adds a bit more creativity, but it's not going to be enough for the more "artsy" family.

We are enjoying our Lapbook (we're not quite finished) but I do think we would have enjoyed it more had we added to it. This would be a nice jumping off point for a study of the desert, but I don't feel was complete enough in itself for us. When we try another one, I will order a few books on the topic from the library to fill in and supplement. This is fairly easy to do and would really make it a fuller study.

Instant Downloads of these studies are $13 each, the CD format is $14, and the printed version is $21. They do carry several holiday options and I've always found the upcoming Thanksgiving/Christmas season to be a wonderful time to take a break from regular studies and create Lapbooks.

Nutrition 101: Choose Life!

Nutrition 101: Choose Life! is a comprehensive health and nutrition study for all ages. Two of the authors are also homeschool moms; one of these a naturopathic doctor, herbalist, aromatherapist, and nutrition counselor as well. Their desire is that through this study, one would come to understand the relationship that food has with our "fearfully and wonderfully made" bodies.

Six units cover the twelve main body systems;

*brain and nervous system
*digestive systemrespiratory, olfactory, auditory and visual systems
*muscular and skeletal system
*cardiovascular and immune system
*sendocrine system and emotions

This is an in-depth study but it's not difficult to read or understand. Recipes, activities, and discussion questions are included. The text and activities lends themselves nicely to notebooking and/or lapbooking and would be fairly easy to adapt in that manner.

A Christian perspective is evident throughout, with Scripture frequently integrated. The authors clearly have a heart for teaching others about how God created our bodies to respond to proper and improper nutrition and exercise, in the hopes that it will help transform lives for the better.

This course is intended for all ages but much of the material is at a high school level. I believe this would be great to use with younger kids, covering and adapting the age appropriate material, and then again in high school as a health/science course. I hope to have my high schoolers work their way through this material, not only because they need the health credit, but because the information is so valuable.

This is an area I need help in myself. We changed our diet a couple of years ago and saw great change in our weight, health, and energy levels. However, due to time and finances, we slipped back into the old, poor nutritional choices. I think it's time to start making changes again, maybe a little less drastically this time. One step at a time, one chapter at a time, would be a better method for us.

This is a BIG book at 498 pages. I received this in e-book form and would not recommend that version. My plan is to have it printed and placed in a binder, but haven't been able to do this as of yet. It's very difficult to wade through such a large book, full of so much information, on the computer screen. I would definitely recommend the print version. It is bright and colorful and not on the computer. ;-)

All in all, I like this program. I'd love to dig deeper into it myself, adapting the teachings within for my family, and sharing with my high schoolers so that maybe they can do better at getting their future families started on the right track. I'm ignoring the advice on caffeine consumption though. I'm happy with my immunity supressing addiction. Just forget about the flu bug I am recovering from presently and let me live in denial a little longer.

Nutrition 101 is available for $79.95 for the CD version, $99.95 for the printed version (which I recommend over the CD), or $129.95 for the book/CD combo.

Blog Tour- If God Is Good by Randy Alcorn

Summary: Every one of us will experience suffering. Many of us are experiencing it now. As we have seen in recent years, evil is real in our world, present and close to each one of us.

In such difficult times, suffering and evil beg questions about God--Why would an all-good and all-powerful God create a world full of evil and suffering? And then, how can there be a God if suffering and evil exist?

These are ancient questions, but also modern ones as well. Atheists such as Richard Dawkins, Christopher Hitchens, and even former believers like Bart Ehrman answer the question simply: The existence of suffering and evil proves there is no God.

In this captivating new book, best-selling author Randy Alcorn challenges the logic of disbelief, and brings a fresh, realistic, and thoroughly biblical insight to the issues these important questions raise.

Alcorn offers insights from his conversations with men and women whose lives have been torn apart by suffering, and yet whose faith in God burns brighter than ever. He reveals the big picture of who God is and what God is doing in the world–now and forever. And he equips you to share your faith more clearly and genuinely in this world of pain and fear.

As he did in his best-selling book, Heaven, Randy Alcorn delves deep into a profound subject, and through compelling stories, provocative questions and answers, and keen biblical understanding, he brings assurance and hope to all.

Author Bio: Randy Alcorn is the founder and director of Eternal Perspectives Ministries and a bestselling author. His novels include Deadline, Dominion, Edge of Eternity, Lord Foulgrin’s Letters, The Ishbane Conspiracy, and the Gold Medallion winner, Safely Home. He has written eighteen nonfiction books as well, including Heaven, The Treasure Principle, The Purity Principle, and The Grace and Truth Paradox. Randy and his wife, Nanci, live in Oregon and have two married daughters and four grandsons.

My Thoughts: I have read and enjoyed Randy Alcorn's prior work: from his fiction, Deadline and Dominion, to his small but effective book, The Treasure Principle. My high school junior is currently working her way through his in depth discussion of Money, Possessions, and Eternity. I had actually decided to limit my non-fiction reviews at this point, outside of homeschool products, but then the opportunity to receive this book came my way and I couldn't resist. Randy Alcorn is an author I trust to bring me an in-depth, well thought out, and yet grace filled book that helps make Scriptural principles clearer and easier to comprehend.

That's asking a lot for the topic he's tackling in this book, If God Is Good. It's subtitled "faith in the Midst of Suffering and Evil" and addresses one of the most difficult questions that plague Christians and Non-Christians alike. He phrases the question this way;

"If God is all good, then he would want to prevent evil and suffering. If he is all knowing, then he would know how to prevent it. If God is all powerful, then he is able to prevent it. And yet...a great deal of evil and suffering exists. Why?"

This is a big question and it takes a big book to present his take on the answer- this is a 500 page book and it was a little intimidating to sit down, open up, and start reading. But don't let the size frighten you away; Randy Alcorn writes to the regular reader. He is easy to understand, even when the topic is the exact opposite. This is not a dry book designed merely for scholars, but a loving attempt at answering a tough question for all of us who have ever asked- whether in anger, defense, disdain, or despair.

I have not yet finished this book but I will- with highlighter in hand! If you'd like to join me in reading Randy Alcorn's careful study of Scripture where it concerns pain and suffering and a good God, pick up a copy of If God is Good at the publishers site or your local bookstore. It's a large hardcover book and retails for $24.99. I can't imagine it not at least giving you food for thought. I know it's putting my brain cells to work.

STUDYPOD Book Holder

I know there’s been many times when I’ve been trying to juggle a cup of coffee, an open book, and a pen and notebook. When I saw the Studypod, I knew it was something I’d use a lot in my home. The Studypod Book Holder holds your book for you at an angle similar to a laptop computer. This is great for schoolbooks when taking notes or doing research. It’s a help when needing to type and read at the same time. And it’s a perfect way to continue enjoying that book over lunch.

The Studypod is a hard plastic case, resembling an oversized paperback, with a netted pocket for holding pens or pencils. It’s easy to use; you just pull the metal stand out, open the Studypod, and swing the metal page holders around. Then it’s easy to place your book on the stand and get to work. This holds books of all sizes and thickness. I tried it with my 500 page hardcover and it held just fine.

We are loving this at our house. In fact, I had to go steal it back from my sixteen year old daughter in order to write this review. I plan to order a couple more for our house, as I know I’ll probably never see this one again once my daughter gets it back in her hands!

The Studypod Book Holder sells for $19.99 or you can buy two or more for $16.99 each. Studypod is offering a $5 off coupon code to readers of the TOS Crew reviews. Just type in TOSBLOG5. I plan to order an extra one for myself.

I'm thinking pink.

Love this!

A Family Guide to the Bible by Christin Ditchfield

I wish that A Family Guide to the Bible by Christin Ditchfield had been around years ago! I did not grow up in a Christian home and so was not raised on the stories that many Christians simply take for granted. I attended Bible college soon after becoming a Christian, so I was able to just soak in everything my professors presented and dig into the Scriptures via homework assignments, but I know that many new Christians would love a crash course overview in the layout and content of the Bible. Those who've been Christians a long time would find this book useful as well, if any are like me and can now remember the major characters and their lives but can't always remember where in the Bible these are found!

Christin Ditchfield has created a very user and family friendly book that shares the history of the Bible, the authority of the Bible, the message, a book by book review of both the Old and New Testament, tips on studying the Bible, where to find the most well known stories, maps, and more. All in a very usable paperback format that doesn't seem overwhelming or overly scholarly. It's exactly what it says it is- a family guide.

I really like this book (can you tell?) and know I will be recommending this frequently to church family. It's also a great addition to a Christian homeschool family. We jumped right into I Chronicles this year, via our Sonlight Curriculum, and reading the overview and message of the book is a wonderful way to give us a foundation as we read the passage itself. The book is only 300 pages long and could also be a great addition to a Bible survey course for older students. There are many ways you could use this to enhance your personal, family, and student Bible studies.

A Family Guide to the Bible is available directly from the publisher or at your local bookstore. It retails for $15.99.

Never Forget

This is a re-post from my personal blog, which I published last year on 9/11. I didn't even realize what date it was until a few minutes ago and I don't want to ever find myself forgetting that day. It's important to remember, not only in respect to those who lost their lives and those who lost loved ones, but also to keep in mind the things we learned as a country that day. We are not invulnerable, we do have enemies, and we are a people that will rise up to the challenges that face us. Let's not trade our freedom for a false sense of security.



I remember when I was younger, finding it odd that everyone knew where they were when Kennedy was shot. They could describe exactly what they were doing when they heard the news and yet it was so long ago. Then came September 11th. I can remember receiving a phone call from my husband at work, telling me to turn on the news. I can remember staring at the television set, having a difficult time comprehending the reality of what I was seeing. I remember when the understanding came and I called my husband to come home and we sat as a family, staring at the news as the events unfolded, too shocked to hide anything from the children.

My now fifteen year old daughter was sorting through her memorabilia last week when she came across her journal from when she was eight years old. I could not read her entry for September 11, 2001 without crying. She journaled as she watched the events unfold.

Here is her journal from that day (in thirteen sections), unedited except for spelling. May we never forget that day. Here is a reminder, through the eyes of an eight year old.


9/11/01 Larissa, Age 8

Today has been a bad day and I mean bad because there were two planes that crashed into a skyscraper. How? People crashed the planes. And Mr Tho****'s relative was in the building 'cause he works there. And there was an explosion. And now the building fell down. And now the other one fell down. And war has been declared.

And there was a bomb in a car and it blew up. And now the pentagon is on fire. And they have the Air Force on duty. And now a plane is headed toward the Pentagon. Another plane is headed toward the Pentagon.

And people were jumping out the windows.

And part of the Pentagon fell down.

And more than 9 thousand people were killed.

And they won't let any planes fly except the Air Force and all the planes that are already flying, they try to get down as soon as possible.

And the Pentagon was hit by a plane because a plane crashed into the Pentagon on purpose. And the Air Force is still on duty and some people were killed and some people just really hurt.

And it is scary. People jumping out of windows and crying and dying and people screaming. It's just scary.

It is the worst time in all of history and it's really bad.

And all the planes that are already flying they sent to Canada.

It is really, really, really, really bad. And my mom is really, really scared.

and it's a disaster. And it's crazy. And people are really scared. And so am I.

Well, the planes have stopped for now and the Air Force is still on duty.

College Prep Genius Part I

College Prep Genius is a course designed to raise SAT scores and help your students eligibility for college scholarships. This course developed out of author Jean Burk's classes that she began teaching in Texas and then branched out all over the United States. For those who are unable to take her class or bring her out to speak, she has placed her entire program on DVD. Her
Master the Sat Class includes a 10 hour DVD set, a textbook, and a workbook.

My 16 year old daughter is anxious about sitting for her SAT's this Spring, so we were both happy to receive this program for review. The author does recommend starting this a lot earlier than we are, and taking practice tests over a couple of years, in order to raise scores. We aren't a big standardized test family, and no one's trying to get into Harvard, so we're okay with starting a little later. If you are interested in scholarships and Ivy league schools, you'll definitely want to start preparing earlier!

I sat down to schedule out the SAT Prep course and found it somewhat difficult to understand the set up. There is a textbook, a workbook, and a DVD set but I was unable to find clear instructions on how to use these items together. I decided to try viewing the DVD with the workbook in front of us and then reading the textbook afterward. I printed out a practice SAT test from www.CollegeBoard.com, which my daughter will use as a reference as she works through the textbook. The text also recommends The SAT Official Study Guide from College Board, but we are going to try it with just the practice test and see how that works.

As there were no clear instructions on how to use this, I looked through the materials and estimated about eight weeks for the course. We will spend six weeks now working through the materials and then return for a two week refresher course prior to the actual test. This is just our plan, I'm sure it will look different for each family depending on the needs and age of the student.

We'll begin this next week and after we are a few weeks into the program, I will post Part II of this review. In the meantime, if this is something you need more information on right now, check out their website. They're currently offering a 30% off limited time special price of $79 for the set.

Fiber One Yoplait Yogurt + Giveaway!

I enjoyed the Yoplait Thick and Creamy so much that when I had the chance to try Yoplait’s Fiber One yogurt (through My BlogSpark), I jumped at it. Especially as they wanted to do a giveaway for THREE of my readers. I love having a hand in giving you free stuff! Keep reading to find out what and how, but first- the yogurt.

Coupon in hand, I stood at the dairy case in my grocery store trying to decide between strawberry and peach. I love the little bits of peach mixed in with the yogurt so I went with the peach, swiped my coupon, and headed home to try it out. I immediately noticed that the color was a little darker than I’m used to with that flavor yogurt. Huh.

I dipped my spoon in and took a bite. The familiar creaminess was there, the texture was nice and I was happy to find my little bits of real peach throughout. The taste wasn’t quite what I am used to and I was able to identify immediately that it contained aspartame. I checked out the packaging and was proven correct, it does contain aspartame. I ate half of the container and then thought I’d try mixing in a spoonful of granola. Mmmm. That was perfection for me.

I can’t say the taste is as good as the Thick & Creamy, the Original, or the Light but if you want 50 calories and 5 grams of fiber, this isn’t bad either. Especially with just a touch of granola sprinkled on top!

Would you like to try it for yourself? Three lucky readers will receive a “Healthy & Fit Weight Management” gift bag that includes a Fiber One yogurt VIP coupon (good for a free 4-pack of Fiber One yogurt), cooler pack, and other storage items for you to carry your snacks and yogurt".
