Homeschool Curriculum-Remedial and/or Review Homeschool English Course
Aug 20th, 2010 | By Jessica Parnell | Category: Curriculum Reviews, Featured Articles
As an English teacher, I am always looking for one more course; one more way to present writing, grammar, or literature; or that perfect speech course that teaches both presentation skills and how to write an effective presentation.
So when I found what is now Bridgeway English, I had to buy it. Developed by top educators in the country, Bridgeway English is a remedial or review English course set up to take a struggling student from failure to success in just one year.
So we put it to the test. Prescribed it for high school students who just did not have a grasp on grammar, for middle school students who just needed that firm foundation before moving on to ninth grade English, and to adults who lacked the skills necessary to succeed in higher level English courses.
And across the board, we saw success. Parents sent in comments like this one from Nikki in Alabama: “I can’t believe Jenny is getting it! This course explains things so well that she is no longer saying how much she hates English. She even grabs it first every day! Unbelievable!” And kids were surprised at “how easy English can be!”
I knew I had found a winner. Every single one of the students who got the course loved it and wanted another just like it. So although Bridgeway has not yet completed other titles, this one is a great start for any student who needs to review English from nouns and verbs to essays, resumes, and research.
This remedial English course does not teach literature. It is a skills development course designed for students who need help with grammar, with writing, with usage, and with skills required for the realities of life.
Written in a step by step fashion with each skill building on the one prior, it just makes sense. And it shows. Kids are learning and succeeding, developing a confidence in their English abilities, scoring above average on standardized tests, and finding the desire to take another English course.
That is when you know that you have a good course!

In your opinion, what level of ACE English would a student be prepared to use after completing the Bridgeway English Set?
You can move on to ACE English I or English II. English I will provide more instruction and practice in grammar, while English II will begin to focus on writing. If your child is moving into 9th grade, go with English I; if 10th grade or above, go right to English II.
Thank you!! That is just the info I needed!!
