INTRODUCTION AND ORDERING INFORMATION1. Introduction to AMERICAN HOME-SCHOOL PUBLISHING

AMERICAN HOME-SCHOOL PUBLISHING was established to bring homeschooling families the best educational resources and products inthe widest possible selection. We believe that as homeschooling families, you are taking your God-given responsibilities for the educationof your children seriously. We intend to provide you with serious help. We have reviewed hundreds of products, selected many that webelieve to be suitable for Christian home-school families, negotiated with numerous sources, and are dedicated to providing them to youas quickly as you need them, at competitive prices. In some cases we have found that the best resources for home-school use werepublished in the 19th Century - we are searching for reprints of the best of these. We are very sensitive to avoiding secular conceptsof evolution science, historical revisionism that denigrates our cultural heritage, and materials that have been “dumbed down” to the pointthat they no longer challenge our children. We believe that self-esteem derives from having accomplished good (hard) works consistentwith God’s law. By helping you, as parent-teachers, we hope to contribute to the preparation of this generation.

This catalog is our fifth. We try to offer products we are personally familiar with. We try to maintain an inventory of every item in thecatalog in order to ship as soon after your order as possible. In the future, we hope to offer a larger and larger selection, especially for thejunior high and high school age groups. For the moment, however, we hope you will find what we offer useful to your family.

2. Ordering/Shipping InformationOrder forms are included near the end of the catalog, on pages 105, 107, & 109. General information about how to order is available just

before the order forms, on page 104. Shipping of orders under $150.00 is generally done by U.S. Media Mail. Expedited shipping isprovided by United Parcel Service (UPS) Ground or U.S. Priority Mail for a small additional charge. All packages to Alaska and Hawaii areshipped U.S. Priority Mail. If you desire expedited delivery, such as Next Day Air, 2nd Day Air, etc., call toll-free to coordinate theadditional shipping charges. Details of shipping costs, as well as instructions for expedited delivery, are described in a table on page 104.

3. Return PolicyWe want you to be satisfied with any material you order from us. Returns are allowed for any reason , within 30 days of our shipping

date, if the product is unused and in resalable condition. Please carefully pack items in a sturdy box and ship via UPS Ground or U.S. MediaMail. The customer is responsible for original shipping and return shipping fees. If your order is damaged during shipping, please contactthe carrier immediately, then call us.

4. Free Shipping for U.S. Media Mail and UPS Ground Orders Over $150.00! (Limited Time Offer.)For a limited time, we are offering free shipping for orders over $150.00 within the contiguous 48-states. This discount is made

referenced to the total of the AHSP Catalog Price of books purchased (line 1 of the order form) without reference to VA sales tax that maybe due. If books are returned from an order, such that the total no longer exceeds $150.00, then shipping for the entire order will berecomputed based on the new total of the order and will be charged and deducted from the credit(s) associated with the return(s). This offerdoes not apply to international orders. All small orders are subject to a minimum shipping price - see the table on p. 104 for details.

5. Pricing PolicyWe attempt to discount as many products as we can. All prices are subject to change without notice. If your total order value would

change by more than 10-percent from the amount of your original order, we will call you and determine if the price change is acceptablebefore shipping.

6. Customer PrivacyWe are very sensitive to the privacy of our customers. We do not share information about our customers and do not buy or sell mailing

list information. We are aware that many local home-school groups prefer not to have their newsletters and membership rosters used forcommercial purposes. Consequently, we do not add your family to our mailing list unless you request a catalog or place an order.

We hope you have a pleasant experience shopping with AHSP!

In this section of our catalog we present materials designed to help you develop a curriculum for your student. A curriculum, as we use the term, generallyincludes a list of learning objectives, the identification of materials and activities to be used to achieve those objectives, a time-phased plan of instructionthat describes the sequence of learning experiences, and an evaluation guide for determining if the objectives have been reached. See also, page 1 for booksabout homeschooling.

“The Core Knowledge Series” by E.D. HIRSCH, Jr.

“The content of the volumes in the Core Knowledge Series is based on a document called the Core Knowledge Sequence,a grade-by-grade sequence of specific content guidelines in history, geography, mathematics, science, language arts, andthe fine arts. The Sequence is not meant to outline the whole of the school curriculum, rather, it offers specific guidelinesto knowledge that can reasonably be expected to make up about half of any school’s curriculum, thus leaving ample roomfor local requirements and emphases. Teaching a common core of knowledge, such as that in the Core KnowledgeSequence, is compatible with many instructional methods...”--E.D. Hirsch.

5. ENGLISH LANGUAGE ARTSEnglish language arts are fundamental and central to a child’s education. In the news recently, was the story of a teenager in Washington, D.C. who scoreda perfect 1600 points on her Scholastic Achievement Tests (S.A.T.) -- the first D.C. public high school student to do so since the early 1970s. She saidmuch of her success comes from a love of reading. She constantly reads for enjoyment, and she credits the habit with helping her on the verbal part of theexam. “When I was in elementary school, teachers would get mad at me because I was constantly reading a book instead of doing my work,” she said,“But they couldn’t get too mad at me. They wanted me to love learning, and I do.” Her mother said she does not have a formula for creating a perfect scoreron the S.A.T. She said she began reading to her daughter when she was two, and by age five the girl “pretty much could read anything.” Our opinion is:(1) begin with removing the TV from your home, (2) read aloud with your child in your lap from infancy and don’t quit before he/she is ten, (3) begin witha phonics-based program such as Turbo Reader before even teaching the alphabet -- forget the “whole language fad”, (4) fill your house with books of alllevels above and below the child’s level -- let the child play with books, explore them at will, and take them to bed, (5) encourage your older children toread to the younger ones, (6) read the Scriptures to your children, sharing the oral reading with them, every night, and finally (7) let your children see youread for your own pleasure -- they will imitate. Beyond these basics, we have tried to assemble some tools/helps in composition, grammar, phonics,literature, and handwriting that have proven themselves to home school families. We hope you find them useful.

5.1 PHONICS AND BEGINNING READING

“The ABCs and All Their Tricks,”& “Phonics Made Plain”, by MottMedia

This is a complete phonics reference for theparent-teacher who is faced with teaching a child

Saxon Phonics K-2 SeriesSaxon’s phonics series is a sucess-oriented program that enables most students to develop a solid foundation in phonics and thus become

successful readers. In keeping with the Saxon philosophy, the phonics series builds on prior learning. New learning is presented in increments, andeach increment is reviewed throughout the year. This provides the student with the exposure needed to achieve success.

Phonics is a method of teaching beginners how to read by learning the sounds each letter and letter cluster makes. It is only after thisunderstanding of the sound/letter relationship is achieved that successful, independent reading can occur. Throughout the program, a controlledvocabulary is used, which means that the student is only exposed to words containing those letters, letter clusters, and sounds that have been taught.This ensures that the student will experience continued success while learning to read.

Please note that the Saxon phonics series is a supplemental series and may be used with any other reading program. Hence, the objective isto provide the student with the information needed to be able to read independently now or in the future, whenever he or she is developmentallyready. There has been no attempt to include the type of quality literature most primary school teachers use to further students’ desire to read.

“Writing Strands”

“I taught writingfor 30 years in thepublic schools, but mywife and Ihomeschooled our sonin language arts be-cause we knew whatchildren don’t learn inschool, and that wasn’tgood enough for Corey.I founded NationalWriting Institute toshare what I’ve learnedwith other parents whoare as frustrated with

our public schools as I am.The hardest job homeschooling parents have is

teaching writing. In fact, writing is viewed as beingso complicated and demanding that the critics ofAmerican schools maintain that teachers can’t doit because they don’t know how. Colleges havenot taught teachers how to teach writing.T h eprogram we developed for our son and now forothers is called Writing Strands, and it’s like noother program available. ....

In Writing Strands we teach the rules of writingwhen the children need to know them to do theassignments.

The detailed instructions in these assignmentsconcentrate on teaching how to write in the fourmajor modes: argumentative, explanatory, re-search and report, and creative. Each book isdesigned for 90 days of training and eachassignment produces a report, an essay or a pieceof fiction. These are not fill-in-the-blankworkbooks or grammar drills. Your child can workindependently, for the books are written to the

child and everything your child needs to know todo the exercises is included in the four strands ofwriting experience which run through the levels.

Each lesson identifies the skill being taught, hasa listing of objectives, has a model of the skill inoperation, and has day-by-day directions for yourchild to follow. They show children how to write.”

Reading Strands is the other half of the NWIlanguage arts program. It contains the techniquesof interpretation, explanations and examples ofthe Socratic method of teaching ideas in literatureand thousands of titles listed by grade, age readinglevel and interest. NWI recommends that youteach Writing Strands once week, where you teachyour children to put their words together forsomeone else to understand, and the next weekteach from Reading Strands, where you will teachyour children to interpret and and make sense ofother people’s writing. It shows you how to talkabout books and stories with your children, and itshows them how to extract meaning forthemselves.

Dave Marks, the founder of the National WritingInstitute, has developed one of the best-accepted writingprograms available for the homeschool family. Hisobjectives and product are explained in the followingextract from his letter to homeschooling parents:

5.3 WRITING & COMPOSITION

Oxford University Press -- “Any Child Can Write”Oxford University Press has provided an excelent book to help you as a parent decide what andhow to teach English composition and creative writing. Any Child Can Write is highly recom-mended.

• Any Child Can Write. Harvey S. Weiner, Oxford University Press. “In this delightful and engaging book, Dr.Harvey S. Weiner shows how parents can encourage their children to write with a home program that can be used frompreschool through high school. By setting up an atmosphere in the home that encourages creative and writtenexpression, coupled with a parent’s guidance in writing (guidance that often falls short in many schools), children willgain an outlook on writing that will build their confidence in their abilities to use language.”--Oxford University Press.“Absolutely the best book ever written, and quite possibly the best that ever will be written, on teachingchildren to write.” --Mary Pride,--The New Big Book of Home Learning. Highly recommended.#0999 ...................................... $15.95...$12.49

5.5 VOCABULARY DEVELOPMENT & CLASSICAL ROOTS STUDYVocabulary from Classical Roots -- A,B,C,D,E,

This is a challenging series that helps students acquire the vocabulary they need to read works of literature and toprepare for the S.A.T. This five-book series teaches junior and senior high school students words derived from the mostimportant Greek and Latin roots.

Roots are grouped for ease of learning. Each of the sixteen lessons in every book introduces up to fifteen wordsderived from two or more classical roots. A dictionary-like format provides all of the necessary information, includingrelated forms of the word and sentences illustrating each word’s correct usage. Because students learn the related formsand multiple definitions of many words, they increase their vocabularies by far more than the 240 main words. Twoinnovations make Vocabulary from Classical Roots unique: 1) Literary, historical, and geographic references in manyillustrative sentences and exercises help students become more culturally literate as they improve their vocabularies. 2)Writing is integrated with vocabulary study. Every pair of lessons includes suggestions for creative writing or expositorywriting using words from the lessons.

Porter, Gene Stratton• Girl of the Limberlost, Gene Stratton-

Porter. “The only difference, barring the naturework, between my books and those of manyother writers, is that I prefer to describe and toperpetuate the best I have known in life, whereasmany authors seem to feel that they have nohope of achieving a high literary standing unlessthey delve in and reproduce the worst. To denythat wrong and pitiful things exist in life is folly,but to believe that these things are made betterby promiscuous discussion at the hands of writerswho fail to prove by their books that theirviewpoint is either right, clean, or helpful, isclose to insanity. If there is to be any error oneither side in a book, then God knows it is farbetter that it should be upon the side of puresentiment and high ideals than upon that of atoo loose discussion of subjects which oftenopen to a part of the world their first knowledgeof such form of sin, profligate expenditure, andwaste of life’s best opportunities. There is onegreat beauty in idealized romance: reading it canmake no one worse than he is, while it mayhelp thousands to a cleaner life and higherinspiration than they have ever before haveknown.” -- G.S.P.

6. CLASSICAL LANGUAGES -- (LATIN & GREEK)

Many home-school families are returning to the proven basics to increase their children’sknowledge of Western civilization. The study of classical Greek and Latin has been proven forgenerations to: a) improve the ability of students to develop English vocabulary and literaryunderstanding, b) impart essential understanding of the history of Western civilization, and c) developthe student’s logical reasoning skills.

Courses range in purpose from providing an introduction to Latin and Greek roots and how theyfind their way into English vocabulary to comprehensive studies of the languages themselves and theculture of Ancient Greece and Rome. American Home-School Publishing has found that home-school-friendly Latin and Greek resources are difficult to come by and that many of the morecomprehensive programs assume a fully qualified Latin or Greek teacher and do not provide audiotapes and guides to pronunciation or translation of all exercises. These programs would be difficult forhome-school families to use without a broader range of materials to augment the program.

After much searching, we have finally found a course in Greek suitable for home schooling. Wehave found some excellent Latin materials. For Roman and Greek cultural studies to complement yourlanguage study, please see our History section under Ancient Rome or Greece. Please refer to ourEnglish Language Arts section for English vocabulary development from the classical roots.

6.1 Latin - Basic LanguageDevelopment

Oxford University Latin CourseCompletely revised and restructured in light of a

nationwide survey of high school and college instructors,and for the first time available in a special version forNorth American students, the Oxford Latin Coursecombines the best features of both modern and traditionalmethods of Latin teaching, providing an exciting,stimulating introduction and approach to Latin based onthe reading of original texts.

In this North American edition, the order ofdeclensions has been changed to correspond to customaryU.S. usage, and the spelling has been Americanized. Inaddition, it offers full color illustrations throughout PartsI and II and an expanded Teacher’s Book for each partwith translations. Parts I-III are built around a narrativedetailing the life of Horace, now based more closely onhistorical sources, which helps students get to know realRomans -- with their daily activities, concerns, and habits-- and to develop an understanding of the times of Ciceroand Augustus. The new Part IV is a reader consisting ofextracts from Caesar, Cicero, Catullus, Virgil, Livy, andOvid.

The second edition of the Oxford Latin Coursefeatures a clearer presentation of grammar, revisednarrative passages, new background sections, moreemphasis on daily life and on the role of women, a greaternumber and variety of exercises, and review chapters andtests. Each chapter opens with a set of cartoons with Latincaptions that illustrate new grammar points and a helpfulvocabulary list. A Latin reading follows, with newvocabulary highlighted in the margins and follow-upexercises that focus on reading comprehension andgrammatical analysis. A background essay in Englishconcludes each chapter. Covering a variety of topics --from history to food, from slavery to travel -- theseengaging essays present a well-rounded picture ofAugustan Rome. This Latin Course can be used forstudents from Junior High through High School.

Canon Press Latin CourseFor an introduction to Latin that is a little less

strenuous that the Oxford Latin Course, you might

wish to try the Canon Press Latin Course. You can

begin this course in the 4th, 5th, or 6th grades. You

will need the Teacher’s Edition and the Latin

Pronunciation Tape. Supplement these with the

Latin Grammar, Book I and Answer Key. If you

haven’t taken Latin yourself for some time, you

might also wish to add Latin Made Simple. These

books will last you through the first year of study,

perhaps slightly less. Use the Latin Primer Book II

and its Teacher’s Edition for the second year of

study.• Latin Primer, Book I, by Martha Wilson

“Athenaze,” by Oxford UniversityPress

Intended as an introduction to ancient Greekfor High School or University wook, this book is

a revised and expanded version of Athenaze,written ten years ago by Maurice Balme (one ofthe authors of the Oxford Latin Course) andGilbert Lawall. The original edition was usedquite widely in English schools and also in a fewuniversities. The original version was skeletal; itconsisted of a narrative in Greek, followed byminimal explanations of grammar and syntax andsome exercises at the end of the book.

Oxford University Press has kept theframework of the old narrative, expanding itwhere it seemed desirable, but everything else hasbeen changed. Full explanations of grammar andsyntax are given at every stage; short essays onrelevant aspects of ancient Greek history, sociallife, and culture have been added in the middle ofthe chapters; the exercises have been almostentirely rewritten; and an extensive teacher’shandbook has been added.

“Hey Andrew! Teach Me Some Greek!”

“Hey Andrew! Teach Me Some Greek!, by Karen Mohs. If your elementary-aged children want to learn Greek, Hey Andrew! was written just for them.This series of self-teaching workbooks introduces the Greek alphabet and grammar through induction - natual immersion - while providing plenty ofpractice, drill, and games designed to help students solidly master a foundational understanding of koine Greek.

Level 1 and the Reader teach the alphabet; Level 2 introduces vocabulary; Level 3 introduces grammar with noun and verb inflections and simpletranslating; and Levels 4-6 incrementally build on the grammar previously learned, and include increasing difficulty in translating. A student masteringall the workbooks will be able to embark on a personal study the the Greek New Testament.

Besides the student workbooks, which include all the information the student and teacher need to learn the language, there are answer keys, quizzesand exams, pronunciation tapes, and vocabulary drill cards on a ring for each level.” -- Christine Miller, Curriculum Corner

7. OTHER MODERN LANGUAGES (FRENCH, GERMAN, SPANISH, RUSSIAN, ETC.)The study of languages is beneficial to the individual in many ways beyond the utility of being able to communicate with people from other countries.

The study of language is essential to understand other cultures, including the things people value, and the events that have shaped their history andmotivation. The exercise is also necessary for the development of parts of the brain associated with logical reasoning, thought, symbol-processing, andlanguage use.

8. GEOGRAPHYGeography was once one of the central themes of education. Today, much is assumed and left out of formal public school programs of study. The

study of geography must include the physical features of the Earth such as continents, mountain ranges, rivers, etc. It must also relate how groups ofpeople and entire cultures have been affected by the place where they happen to live -- e.g., how they were protected, or isolated, fed, clothed, or madewar upon, according to their location.

tends from grades 1 to 6. It is one portion of yourcurriculum that you can systematically use fromday to day for years. The quality is excellent, theinformation is interesting and current.

Albert Marrin -- History &Biography A wonderfully told history series by AlbertMarrin, Chairman of the History Department atYeshina University in New York City. Hesmoothly takes students through many of theimportant historical periods of the world. Hisbiographies include not just the man but also theimportant events of his time. These books arevery readable, accurate history. They have beenhighly recommended by home school families.Grades 6 through Junior High.• Empires Lost and Won: The Spanish Heritage in

the Southwest In 1528, Alvar Nunez Cabezade Vaca, looking for riches and adventure, didn’tknow how much adventure he would find whenhe left Spain for the New World. He ventured asfar as Kansas searching for legendary cities ofgold and began the brutal subjugation of thePueblo Indians. This is a history of the UnitedStates that began in the 1500s, a century beforeEnglish settlement in the East, and that had anenormous influence on formation and culture of

on Spain’s possessions in the New World; yet hecommanded neither an army nor a Navy. Norwas he a political ruler, although his exploitsaffected the power politics of Europe and earnedhim a knighthood. In plain language, HenryMorgan was a leader of thieves, a “prince”among a group of outcasts, desperadoes, andfailed gentlemen known as buccaneers. AlbertMarrin shows how Henry Morgan was aparticular response to forces that are still withus. War, poverty, greed, bigotry, and oppressionplay themselves out, albeit differently, in ourlives today.

• George Washington and the Founding of aNation Marrin examines the “father of ourcountry” from the points of view of character,military experience, and also his slaveholding toassess Washington’s role in our history. A bornleader with commanding physique, unwaveringself-discipline, and an unconquerable will tosucceed, he was also - as Lord Fairfax observedwhen Washington was only sixteen - “a manwho will go to school all his life.” Washington’sschools were the rugged country of the Frenchand Indian War, the misery-creating insolvencyof the Continental Army, and the agrarianresponsibility of his plantation in MountVernon. Neither a political theorist nor afirebrand, a man whom order ruled and who ruledby order, Washington embodied the virtues offairness, restraint, and farsightedness that wouldhold the American colonies together - at leastfor a while.#4721 ...................................... $30.00...$24.95

Itcreated the largest antiwar movement in

9. HISTORYAmerican Home-School Publishing has taken a very special interest in the teaching of history to our children. Freedom and liberty cannot be

maintained by our children if they do not understand the decisions men made and the cost at which they were purchased. They must understand theideas that have shaped our country. They must understand there have been, and still are, powerful people who would take these freedoms away fromus. The current generation of this nation is being purposefully deprived of their birthright -- the knowledge that they are the children of a high destinyin the line of great men who performed great deeds at high sacrifice. They must decide for themselves that this country and its culture are worth living forand defending. No “Classical Education” can avoid focusing on great men and women, who, with inspired ideas, met times of crisis and challenge. Thesethings are to be preserved and studied so that all generations to come can act with knowledge, experience, reason, boldness and truth.

Emerson. He chats most delightfully aboutPlutarch: “No poet could illustrate his thoughtwith more novel or striking similes or happieranecdotes. I do not know where to find a book -- to borrow a phrase of Ben Johnson’s-- “sorammed with life.” His style is realistic,picturesque, and varied; his sharp objective eyesseeing everything that moves, shines, orthreatens in nature or art, or thought, or dreams.The sentiment of Plutarch, like his heart, wasalways pure. “Truth,” he says, “is the greatestgood that man can receive, and goodliestblessing that God can give.” Dr. White has

Greece, by Bill Morkot. The cradle ofWestern civilization, Ancient Greece was aland of contradictions and conflict. Intenselyquarrelsome and competitive, the Greek city-states consistently proved unwilling and unableto unite. Yet, in spite of or even because of thisinternal discord, no ancient civilization provedso dynamic or productive. The Greeks notonly colonized the Mediterranean and BlackSea areas but set standards of figurative artwhich endured for nearly 2500 years.

• Everyday Things in Archaic Greece, byMarjorie & C.H.B. Quennell. The second in theseries. Covering the period from 1180 BC to480BC, Seventh to nineth grade. This bookdeals with the time which is the greatest interestand the utmost importance to all of us who nowlive in Western Eurome and America. It wasnot only our fate which was settled between 560and 480BC, but the mode of our lives, the colorof our thoughts, and the fashion of ourbuildings. It may not be a vain imagining towonder what would have happened to us if thePersians had won the battle of Salamis. Hadtheir thrust been more successful than thattremendous wave of Mohammedan invasionwhich was not stopped until it reached Poitiersin 732 AD, there might have been a greaterstruggle than that between the Cross and theCrescent. If we turn from the politicalsignificance of the Greek struggle with thePersians to their technical accomplishments,we have a rich mine in which to quarry. Duringthe Archaic Period, the details of the Doricstyle of architecture were finally fixed. TheTemples at Aegina and Paestum led the way tothe Parthenon. The Ionic experiments atEphesus made the Erectheum possible. Insculpure, the sculptors cut almost everythingthat can be carved in stone and marble. Theblack-figure vases are exquisite, and the subjectsof their decorations as illuminating as historicaldocuments. Junior High.

Even so,no one reading Caesar’s Commentaries can failto realize that here was a genius of the first rank.Vercingetorix’ story, like Hannibal’s is a tragicone, and for the same reason -- the selfishness ofhis people. His effort was far more brief thanthat of the Carthaginian, but no less vigorous,and, like Hannibal, the hero of Gaul failed by anarrow margin; his ability, transcendent thoughit was, could not entirely overcome the tribaljealousies of the Gauls.

• Fifteen Decisive Battles of the World,From Marathon to Waterloo, by Edward S.Creasy. Undoubtedly the most famous work ofmilitary history of the nineteenth century,Creasy’s Fifteen Decisive Battles has been readand re-read for close to 150 years. It is not onlythe authoritative account of each battle thatmake Creasy’s work such a classic - it is hiscommand of narrative, his interest in humanstruggle, his profound deductions as to theeffects of the battles, and his striving after truth.Furthermore, his selections seem as wise andwell-considered today as when Fifteen DecisiveBattles first appeared. Apart from the scholarship and literary skillof Creasy’s book, there is another reason it hasendured. Creasy was essentially fair-minded. Hehad been a judge, and when he became England’sgreat military critic and historian, he main-tained a thoroughly judicial attitude. He was nota British partisan, nor French, nor German - hewas a cosmopolitan observer of great events. Out of 2300 years, Creasy only found fifteenbattles which he called decisive in the highestsense. He chose them not for the number ofkilled or wounded, nor for their status in mythand lore. He chose them because they were trulydecisive, because they fundamentally changedthe course of world history. In doing so, hemade his book a miniature military history ofthe Western world, a classic that will repaycontinued study for generations to come, as ithas for generations passed. Sir Edward Shepherd Creasy (1812-1878) waseducated at Eton and Cambridge, and worked as alawyer and judge until 1840, when he becameProfessor of History at the University ofLondon. In 1860 he became Chief Justice ofCeylon. After his return to England in 1870, hewrote and published several books, though nonereceived the acclaim of Fifteen Decisive Battles.High School, pp. 404 Includes:

Harold Jacobs’ Math Books

Harold Jacobs’ Geometry, Elementary Algebra,and The Human Endeaver are three texts withdecades of use and acceptance by student andhomeschooling parents as well. We carried themin our 1998-1999 catolog with great success, buthad to remove them in 2000 because they weretemporarily unavailable to the homeschoolmarket. Now the’re back and we’re wonderfullypleased to add them again to our catalog.

Jacobs’ GeometrySaxon teaches geometry as an integrated part oftheir curriculum without having a separategeometry book per se. However, somehomeschoom parents feel the need for a classicalEuclidean Plane Geometry curriculum, focusingon geometric deductive reasoning, logic, anintroduction to mathematical reasoning, con-structions, and formal proofs. The course isdesigned to be covered in one year. Anintroduction to Algebra (such as Jacob’sElementary Algebra, Saxon Algebra 1/2 or SaxonAlgebra 1) is appropriate before attempting thiscourse. Major chapters include:

1) The Nature of Deductive Reasoning2) Point, Lines, and Planes3) Rays and Angles4) Congruent Triangles5) Inequalities6) Parallel Lines7) Quadrilaterals8) Transformations9) Area10) Similarity11) The Right Triangle12) Circles13) The Congruence Theorems14) Regular Polygons and the Circle15) Geometric Solids16) Non-Euclidean Geometries17) Coordinate Geometries

The text is a hardback of 668 pages. Acomprehensive 300 page Teacher’s Guide isavailable, as are Test Masters covering the entireyear. AHSP has reviewed these materials and isconfident you will be pleased with this program.• Jacobs’ Geometry, Text, 2E

Jacobs’ Elementary AlgebraOne of the strengths of the Saxon Algebra booksis their slow, repetitive, cyclical transition fromthe aritmetic concepts to algebraic thinking. Formany students, this approach is perfect.However, some students find the transition tooslow and not exciting. If your child appears to bein this category, Jacobs’ Elementary Algebramay be the perfect alternative. Harold Jacobs

has a marvelous sense of humor that permeateshis books, as well as an excitement for the subjectthat stimulates the curiosity and sense ofexploration that ignites young mathematicians’thinking.• Jacobs’ Elementary Algebra, Text/Work-

Mathematics, A Human Endeavor“It is not often that one can think of an apt replyto a comment, so I am rather proud of one timethat I could. Somebody came up to me after atalk I had given, and said, ‘You makemathematics seem like fun.’ I was inspired toreply, “If it isn’t fun, why do it?” -- Ralph P.Boas, Professor Emeritus of Mathematics,Northwestern University.My wife said, “Why are you including thisbook? You won’t sell two in a year.” My replyis that if I can give sight to two blind people eachyear, should I not try? -- Steve Wold, AHSP

Understanding Mathematics: From Counting to CalculusMost of us realize the importance of being able to use math in today’s society. However, reasons for solving mathproblems as taught often remain a mystery. This is because many learn math in school only by solving problemssimilar to examples. Mathematics is a much more fun, easy, and useful subject if understood. Mr. Kressin suppliesintuition and understanding in an easy-to-read, non-technical discussion. He begins with a subject everyoneunderstands -- counting. Then he systematically builds on this topic until finally reaching the advanced math subjectof Calculus. I would like to recommend this book to parent-teachers as well as students. It places important conceptsin perspective and makes them understandable and interesting. Another math textbook (like Saxon) will be necessaryto provide the repetitive exercises that are so necessary for mastery.. . but this book provides context, simplification,and overview that can be the difference between understanding, and loving mathematics and fearing it. pp.330. Ages 12- adult.

11. MUSICMusic has long been used to praise God and bring peace to the soul. It can be one of the satisfactions that makes life worth living -- bringing joy and

relieving pain. It can provide the soul with a way of communicating feelings impossible to put into words. It can communicate the history and glory ofa civilization. Music can also be degrading and used to corrupt our youth -- to blot out the promptings of the Holy Spirit so the person can be bettertempted. It can drive clean thoughts from our heads and fill us with all forms of filth and violence. Home school parents who wish to fight the evil thatmusic can bring must teach their children what good music can be from an early age. Children will learn to love what they hear from their youth andwill automatically reject trash in their later years. For the same reason we throw out the TV, we must also drastically curtail the radio and CDs thatour children are exposed to. By teaching children to play instruments and sing, we give them opportunities to understand how difficult (and satisfying)the art can be. As they achieve success, they will feel the joy that it brings.

12. SCIENCE AND ENGINEERING

We have organized some science helps in this section of the catalog. Children wonder about the world around them. They want to know how thingswork. They want to know Why. The study of science leads to invention and the creative use of new knowledge. People are happy and self-confidentwhen they know enough about their surroundings to understand cause and effect. They learn to predict events and control forces, avoid accidents andachieve a degree of control of their lives that ignorance does not allow. They also begin to comprehend the marvelous complexity of God’s creation-- and thereby, begin to comprehend His glory.

WHAT IS AN AHSP CURRICULUM?

Classical Education Materials. AHSP characterizes its materials as supporting a Classical Curriculum. Our foundingfathers and many of the greatest men and women of our history were educated in Latin, Greek, Plutarch’s lives, Herodotus,the Bible, Webster’s Dictionary, and the classics of literature and history. Many quality materials that were available in the19th century became nearly extinct as our public schools lowered academic standards, and eliminated the very goal ofunderstanding core subjects and the roots of Western Civilization. We have collected materials to help homeschoolfamilies who wish to re-implement the classical educational standards.

Academically Rigorous Materials. AHSP is also concerned with the level of academic standards used in ourhomeschooling. We wish to help families who wish their children to become educated to the highest standards of reading,writing, mathematics, biography, and history, who have effective vocabularies, thinking skills, independent self-confidence,and communicative skills. We believe that if the materials expect high standards, our children will achieve them. We haveselected the best materials that we can obtain and continue to look for materials of the highest standards. Simultaneously,we know that teaching every subject from K to 12 for possibly multiple children is a daunting task for any mom, and thatthe materials must be organized with teacher’s instructions, work books, answer keys, and other tutorial aids to makehomeschooling truly practical.

Core Knowledge Focus. We also have a great respect for E.D. Hirsch’s Core Knowledge Curriculum, which recognizesthe fact that one of the purposes of education is to communicate the nation’s cultural heritage. Dr. Hirsch’s group hasidentified important knowledge and skills which every person who is generally recognized as “educated” seems to under-stand. This material has been organized by grade level and indicates an evolving social/cultural awareness that we believeshould be taught as an objective of the educational process. In addition to general cultural development, certain core skillsare required, such as spelling, use of correct grammar, phonetics-based reading, and mathematics competency of suchbasics as addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division - even though these require repetition and memorization. Thiskind of knowledge and these skills are frequently being eliminated from today’s public schools. Many homeschool familieswhish to restore this form of training to their children’s edication.

Practical Living is Important. AHSP also thinks that practical living skills, such as how to balance a chekbook, prepareyour taxes, drive and maintain an automobile, safety, health, disaster preparedness, cooking, sewing, and many othersubjects are required for a balanced education. At this time, however, we have few materials supporting these educationalgoals. We hope to add this type of material to our catalog in the future.

If these educational philosophies align with those of your family, we think you will be pleased with the materials we haveselected.

Thank you for shopping with AHSP!
