HomeSchool/HomeStudy (Grades K-12)
Parents, have you ever noticed how
your young children always ask to "look at the pictures" when you read to them? Pictures and objects and other
brain-based "touchables" are the CONCRETE items that make it easier for them to learn and remember. Many students, both young and older, have trouble grasping ABSTRACT concepts (like wind and charm and PARAGRAPH). Give them something CONCRETE with which to learn those ABSTRACT concepts and they will remember
the concepts forever! The Five Finger Paragraph© is a brain-based learning method for teaching students to write basic paragraphs and five paragraph essays. The color-coded kinesthetic method (it's tactile, meaning your student can touch, feel and see it) uses MNEMONIC DEVICES so the student internalizes the method more quickly and remembers it longer than traditional rubrics. All teenagers who must take an EXIT exam from high school classes or the S.A.T. or A.C.T. exams to get into college will benefit from the new The Five Finger Essay. This new ebook is aimed specifically at teenagers and helps alleviate their fear of writing essays in a testing situation.
********************
But, before you purchase any Five Finger Paragraph© products, ask yourself the following questions. Your answers to yourself will help you determine what products or package(s) you might need. 1. How much do I know about writing? 2. Will I be able to provide assistance to my student if I purchase only minimal materials? 3. How much assistance will my student need (from me or from the materials)? 4. Could my HomeSchool/HomeStudy group benefit by having the Author/Illustrator demonstrate the methods in person (or on DVD)? ================================================== Click here for a SAMPLE of HomeSchool/HomeStudy Parents' Edition or here for a SAMPLE of HomeSchool/HomeStudy Student Edition (This sample is in .pdf format and you will need Adobe Reader to view them.

PLEASE NOTE: Free samples of pre-written essays (available at some other sites) sound like a great idea, but they really won't help your student. Pre-written essays show only the end results, not the path a writer needs to take to get the essay written. My products contain instructions for teaching children (and adults!) to write paragraphs and essays without the battles. Free downloadable samples are available here. Remember, these are instructions that will help your student learn valuable lessons in writing that he/she will use for the rest of his/her life. The products will be worth your investment!
