This student workbook contains a Jingle, Reference, Practice and Test Section. The Reference Section includes vocabulary words, guided practices, samples, guidelines, and charts. The Practice Section provides extra practice on the various skills taught before the skills are tested. The Test Section contains the tests for each chapter. Each test is divided into four basic areas: grammar, vocabulary, language skills, and a summary of things learned for the week. Grade 6.
Over the years, I perfected and expanded Shurley English. I watched students in my classroom succeed in English and believe in themselves again. My students developed a tremendous sense of security and self-confidence in their ability in English, which carried over into other areas of their lives. I grew more excited as I realized the Shurley curriculum could open nearly unlimited learning potential for every student. As I continued to write and expand the Shurley curriculum, I envisioned a complete language program for all levels.
In 1989, eighteen years after I began this journey, our first edition of The Shurley Method: English Made Easy was published for grades 1-7. Today, our company has an expansive line of Language Arts curriculum including the fourth edition of the Shurley English series for public schools, a 15-week intensive grammar program, and a Spanish to English ELL curriculum.
