And now for our final vendors of the week!

King Alfred’s English  

 

King Alfred’s English: A History of the Language We Speak and Why We Should Be Glad We Do was written by Laurie J. White as a way to bring the history of our language to students in grades 7 through 12 in a fun and engaging manner.

Laurie fell in love with the history of the English language after taking it as a college course; it made the study of key parts of history, English and even foreign language come alive.  King Alfred’s English looks at how the growth of the English language through four key invasions, or as Laurie puts it “language altering tsunamis,” both broadened and simplified English into the language we speak today.

This Crew absolutely loved this book, so I am very excited that the author is graciously sending 3 winners a copy! Enter the contest using the Rafflecopter below!

Truthquest History

TruthQuest History is a deep and rich literature-based history study…but with a difference. You will not learn the story ofmankind; you will learn the lovestory of mankind. You will not focus on the rise and fall of human civilizations; you will focus on the arrow-straight line of God’s unchanging existence, power, love, truth, and plan for civilization. You will not simply ‘meet the culture’ or ‘get the facts;’ you will probe the truths of history so deeply that your students will be equipped to change their world!

TruthQuest History has eight chronological guides for World History (Creation through 2000) that can be used up through high school studies.  There is also an American History track for the younger grades (1 – 5) that cover exploration through 2000 in 3 chronological guides.

  1. I am only a grammar nazi on a few things. Whe I taught elementary school, I always corrected students that said, “aks” instead of “ask”, and using good and well incorrectly is a bit bothersome.
