We prize all the things we have now that previous generations did not have, but we seldom reflect on what they had that we do not.

Letter from the Editor

hen my wife and I visit my mother and stepfather, we often duck out to go for a walk in nearby Holton, a beautiful old town that lies on the prairie in eastern Kansas. We park along the street, walk the neighborhoods, and then poke around in a few of the shops in the old town square.

The town is very proud of its heritage. Established in 1857, it supported the farming community around it, and the antique stores are full of hundred-year-old pictures that detail a thriving prairie town full of banks, barber shops, and small grocery stores.

On our last visit to my mother's we again went to Holton, and as we walked along we noticed my stepfather's construction van parked in front of a block of old two-story buildings. One front door standing wide open revealed a thin stairway leading up.

I called up the stairs and he called back for us to come on up.

We climbed up the steep staircase to the top landing, which led to lofts on the left and the right. In one were the makings of a new apartment, newly framed, the kitchen and bathrooms fitted for the installation of modern appliances. The other had yet to be dealt with. The floors were littered with early-twentieth-century debris— pieces of wood, windows, and cornices. My stepfather was working for a friend who had bought several of these old buildings, helping her restore them to something of their former glory. While in many places older buildings have been bulldozed and replaced by uglier and flimsier structures, this was a grueling but worthwhile effort to not only save but to restore something old and beautiful.

He made a point to show us how much more skillfully made the older fixtures were than those now available at the local home improvement store. He kicked a board at his feet. "Look at this board," he said. "Notice anything about it?" We could only stare blankly.

"There are no knots in any of this wood. When they built buildings and houses back then, the boards had to be perfect. No knots. Boards with knots were used to build barns."

One after another he pointed to the quality of the scrap pieces of wood scattered about, of the arched frame of a door, of the brickwork on the walls. These were not buildings for the rich or the privileged, but for common residents and shopkeepers.

He explained that some of the wood and the cornices had endured and could be reused, ancient as they were, but that other things would have to be replaced with newer, lower-quality versions. Though it would be impossible to remake these structures perfectly, the approximation would still have something of its original integrity.

We tend to look down on the past. We prize all the things we have now that previous generations did not have, but we seldom reflect on what they had that we do not or on the things we have that are not of the quality they once were.

We need to ask ourselves whether education is among those things and whether, instead of bulldozing the original idea of education and replacing it with some newer, lower-quality version, we need rather to rebuild and restore the ideal of education that once prevailed—that of helping our students become better human beings.

We can never fully restore the education of a hundred years ago, but we can—and should—take some of the materials, refurbish them, and, even though we'll have to use a few knotted boards, reconstruct the kind of education that nourishes a child's soul.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Which books can be used as class sets and which are consumable?

All student guides are consumable (except upper school literature guides). One per student is required.

These books travel to and from home and are used as study guides. For literature, we suggest that all students have their own copy of each novel so they can highlight and underline as needed. Textbooks for other subjects can generally be purchased as reusable class sets since the student guides will contain all the material needed for study after the text has been read.

Q: Can we get by without teacher guides?

Teacher guides include quizzes and tests, answers to student guides, teaching guidelines, and additional key information for connecting the material to other subjects and to the previous knowledge students have gained. Thus, we strongly encourage the purchase of a teacher guide for each subject.

Q:

What do we need for initial classroom setup?

For classroom setup you will need: teacher guides for each subject, texts for each student plus one for the teacher, and student guides for each student. If there are wall charts and flashcards available, one set per classroom is recommended. Likewise, only one Read-Aloud Set per classroom is needed.

MEMORIA PRESS Charter.MemoriaPress.com

latin Latin develops the mind of the young student as no other subject can. It is the next step after phonics and it is the most efficient means of teaching grammar, making concrete what is abstract in English. What arithmetic provides to the sciences Latin provides to the humanities: mental discipline, structure, and foundational skills necessary for advanced subjects. The study of Latin is the core of a classical education.

We begin Latin as early as second grade and continue every year, culminating in the translation of Latin literature in grades 9-12. Introduction to Grammar School Latin, Grammar School Latin, and the Latin Forms Series focus on the memorization of the Latin grammar by the time-tested method of oral recitation and form drills. This is followed by a Latin translation course in which students master the syntax that was gradually introduced throughout the Latin Forms Series. Our Latin sequence then culminates in the reading of the literature of Caesar, Ovid, Vergil, and Cicero in the original Latin in upper school. A student starting in fifth grade or later can begin with the Latin Forms Series.

The Greek Alphabet by Cheryl Lowe

Greek Alphabet Charts

First Start French I

The Greek alphabet is different enough from our own to be a major impediment to the study of Greek. The Greek Alphabet is a tour of the Greek letters, their formation, and their sounds. A page is devoted to each letter and includes a letter diagram with arrows showing proper formation, letters to trace and copy, interesting facts and hints, and questions.

These two-chart sets make a great visual aid for students and teachers in the classroom. One chart has the upper- and lowercase letters of the Greek alphabet with their names in English and Greek. The second chart lists diphthongs, accent marks, pronunciation helps, and syllable names.

This is a perfect introduction to French for students who would like to add a modern language to their Latin studies. This program will teach students the basics of French grammar, help them develop a large vocabulary, assist them in beginning to speak French, and introduce them to French culture.

In American & Modern Studies students focus on history since the Renaissance, geography, literature, and world cultures. Each program builds every year on the work of previous years, promoting mastery.

Students study and draw maps, and by the end of their study are able to label political and physical maps of both hemispheres from memory. Students also read a variety of books from our American Studies Supplemental Sets to supplement their knowledge of the U.S. and the world. All of this work prepares students for comprehensive studies of American and European history in high school.

Classical Phonics

Grades K-2 A Child's Guide to Word Mastery $18.50

by Cheryl Lowe Classical Phonics consists of phonetically arranged word lists for students to practice their growing word recognition skills. In a word list there are no context clues, so the learner must rely on his mastery of letter sounds. Classical Phonics can be used as a supplement to any phonics program, and covers nearly all English phonograms and sounds taught through second grade.

Phonics Flashcards Grades K-2

Easy Reader Classics Grades 1-2 | $3.95 ea.

Classic stories from The Jungle Book, The Wind in the Willows, Tom Sawyer, and Doctor Dolittle have been adapted in these early readers so young children can read good stories on their level. Simple sentences and beautiful illustrations are a perfect fit for primary students who are ready to practice reading fluency. View the full list at Charter.MemoriaPress.com.

Kindergarten Morning Work Grade K | $16.00 Kindergarten Morning Work is designed to practice quick recall of concepts already taught in kindergarten. It purposefully does not introduce new concepts, but allows young students to build confidence and gives teachers the opportunity to gauge mastery. Two days a week students will review penmanship, phonics, color words, number awareness, and the manner of the week.

$25.95 | (5.5" x 4.25")

There are nearly 200 phonograms used to spell the 44 sounds used in the English language. In our Phonics Flashcards we have organized these phonograms into nine categories to give some rational order to the irregularities of English spelling.

Phonics, Reading, & Spelling The primary goal of the kindergarten year is to teach students to read. Our program for phonics instruction is First Start Reading. Phonics is most effective when taught methodically, thoroughly, intensively, and logically. We begin with one sound for each letter and start blending consonants with short vowels immediately to form the three-letter phonetic words that children learn first.

Additional sounds for letters are taught in the context of word families. Common sight words that break phonetic rules are taught and reviewed throughout the year. Formal phonics instruction continues after kindergarten within the Traditional Spelling program and literature guides.

Our approach to reading includes systematic phonics and daily exposure to good literature in the form of read-aloud books. These are scheduled in our Enrichment Guides and lesson plans. Good books captivate the imagination of children and motivate them to want to be readers. Good books teach vocabulary and a fascination with words. Good books teach geography, history, science, and, most importantly, the condition of human life. Good books open the mind of the child to the whole world.

Spelling Traditional Spelling I-III

by Cheryl Lowe | Grades 1-3 Traditional Spelling is a comprehensive, phonetic approach to spelling, and is the culmination of our phonics program.

Traditional Spelling provides your student with an extensive mastery-based study of phonics for spelling and reading.

Each lesson features writing and oral dictation practice, color-coded phonogram activities, and short stories on the student's reading level that utilize that week's spelling words.

Penmanship Penmanship, both manuscript and cursive, is an important part of education. Neat, legible penmanship is a crucial factor in the development of accuracy in spelling and arithmetic. The physical act of writing requires focus, discipline, and patience of students—values which cross over to all of their other academic subjects. Our manuscript copybooks teach penmanship, basic grammar, spelling, literature, accuracy, attention to detail, and memory—all through the simple skill of copying.

Starting cursive in first grade means that students are learning this new skill after they have a solid grasp of manuscript writing but before they encounter the heavier demands of written work in the grammar school years, when cursive will allow students to write more efficiently and with greater accuracy. Writing at a high level begins with the humble skills of speed, accuracy, and beauty in writing letters and words. *denotes consumable book

Logic Logic is the original thinking skill. Memoria Press' logic program has brought back many of the lost tools of this essential subject. The Traditional Logic program is an in-depth study of the classical syllogism. The textbooks provide brief but comprehensive explanations of the complex subject matter in clear, concise language, and well-structured daily exercises in the workbooks ensure student mastery.

In Traditional Logic I students will gain a basic understanding of terms, statements, and simple categorical arguments. Traditional Logic II covers the figures of the traditional syllogism, forms of rhetorical arguments, kinds of hypothetical syllogisms, and kinds of complex syllogisms, as well as relational arguments. Book II also includes a wealth of examples of famous arguments throughout history. Traditional Logic I can be used as early as seventh grade as a year-long course, or older students can complete Traditional Logic I and II as semester courses.

Traditional Logic differs from modern logic programs in that it focuses on the language-centered logic developed by the ancient Greeks, which was actually used in the classical trivium. If your goal is to teach students how human beings think and how we actually argue in real life, traditional logic—which is a language art and not a mathematical art—is the place to start.

Writing & English Grammar The teaching of English grammar is most efficiently accomplished through Latin instruction. The English Grammar Recitation program solidifies the grammar students have learned in Latin by having them memorize and recite the grammatical and usage rules in English, while also supplementing with English-specific rules for capitalization and punctuation.

Once students have mastered the basic rules of how language works, they are ready to learn how to use that language persuasively. In the Classical Composition program, students learn one of the most important liberal arts, rhetoric—the ability to communicate clearly, concisely, and persuasively. Training in rhetoric begins in the earliest grades, when young students are asked to answer reading comprehension questions in simple sentences and paragraphs in their literature and history guides, and continues with formal training in rhetorical skills in the Classical Composition program, culminating in the study of the advanced theory of persuasive communication in Aristotle's Rhetoric. *denotes consumable book

Classical Composition Classical Composition (Stages I-V available)

by James A. Selby

Grades 4+ *Student Book $21.95 ea. | Teacher Guide $29.95 ea.

Ancient writers invented a way of teaching writing known as the progymnasmata (or "before exercises"), which provided a method of teaching composition that not only taught budding writers a disciplined way to approach communication, but also helped them appeal to the hearts and minds of their audience.

The fourteen exercises, organized from the simplest and most basic to the most complex and sophisticated, were the core education of a classical speaker, designed to produce what Quintilian once called "the good man, speaking well."

Jim Selby has blown the dust off of the writing curriculum that was used in schools for over 1,500 years and put it in an easy-to-teach format that will revolutionize your curriculum. Presented clearly and systematically, Classical Composition will give you a clear road map to writing excellence.

Writing & English Grammar

English Grammar Recitation We've been saying for years that Latin teaches English grammar better than English teaches English grammar, and we have written a course that makes the perfect English grammar supplement for your Latin program.

Grades 3-8 English Grammar Recitation $10.95 Flashcards $13.50 *Student $12.95 ea.

Teacher $13.95 ea.

Our English Grammar Recitation is a manual of about 150 grammar questions, answers, and examples designed to be studied and memorized. Brief exercises in the Student Guide, including some diagramming, accompany the grammar questions. However, mastery of the English grammar recitation is the primary goal of this course, not its application. It is hoped that this course can be completed in much less time than the typical English grammar course, leaving more time for composition and Latin.

Workbooks I-III are available now, with IV-V coming soon! Each lesson in the workbooks covers two to three grammar questions along with practice exercises. English Grammar Recitation also covers common capitalization and punctuation rules by means of concise style sheets.

Classical Studies Classical Studies covers Greek mythology, ancient history, and the Middle Ages. We do not study history chronologically, but rather in accordance with the age-appropriateness of the content for the student. We begin in third grade with Greek myths, fantastical stories that appeal to young students and are suited to their age level. Next we study Rome and then the Middle Ages, saving the complexity of the Greek civilization for later in the grammar school, though it comes before Rome chronologically.

Students are then prepared to read Homer's Iliad and Odyssey in middle school as they review each time period with Dorothy Mills' ancient history series. This cyclical approach to Classical Studies prepares students to read and understand the classics of Greek, Roman, and British history in upper school, and to gain insight into the modern world.

Students starting their classical education in later years will skip the Famous Men series and acquire their ancient history with an overview from the Dorothy Mills books. We would also recommend reading D’Aulaires’ Book of Greek Myths (p. 24) and The Trojan War by Olivia Coolidge (p. 28) as an introduction to the characters and plot of The Iliad and The Odyssey before taking on these difficult works.

Aeschylus was the first of the three great tragic playwrights.

The Oresteian Trilogy is the exciting story of the end of the curse of the House of Atreus. Sophocles, "famous for wisdom," won the playwright competition at the Festival of Dionysus many times. Here, in The Three Theban Plays, is his story of Oedipus. It is the great myth, influencing all subsequent literature.

Euripides further developed the tragedy in Medea & Other Plays, instituting the deus ex machina, a prologue with a background, and greater realism. These plays together provide a comprehensive year-long literature or classical studies course for high school.

Literature & Poetry Literature and poetry are essential to a classical education. Why? Because, along with history, literature and poetry are the chief ways we pass on the ideals and values of traditional Western culture. Not only will your students' affections be trained to love the good (and hate the bad) through characters they encounter in great literature, but they will get a glimpse into the wonder of reality that only good poetry can reveal to us. Memoria Press' literature and poetry programs bring you a choice selection of the best books by the best authors.

Reading requires an active, discriminating mind that is challenged to think, compare, and contrast.

Students who have been challenged by good literature will develop into superior readers and will never be satisfied with poor-quality books. Each novel has been carefully selected to nourish your students' hearts and minds and improve their reading abilities. The study guides focus on vocabulary, comprehension, and composition—skills that train students to become active readers.

science There are two choices for elementary science: the survey course which raises many questions with little time for answers, and the in-depth study of one topic, in which questions can be explored, curiosity can be satisfied, and understanding can take root. Memoria Press' in-depth science courses for the grammar school focus on observation and classification—the natural starting point of science— rather than experiments. We introduce students to the natural world by studying the things it is made up of—birds, insects, trees, mammals, and the heavenly bodies. We give students the gift of knowing the world they live in and an appreciation of that world that will benefit them throughout their lives.

Our goal for math in the primary grades is the mastery of basic facts. One of the most effective ways to help students achieve mastery is simply to practice. With daily timed drills, Memoria Math Challenge is designed to give students that math practice and also to help the teacher measure students' immediate recall.

We start with addition, subtraction, and number dictation in kindergarten, and ramp up to 200 daily problems by the end of first grade. If students are able to master their math facts in the primary years, they can devote more time to complex math operations in grammar school and upper school.
