5th Grade CORAL

Student Edition
Mosdos Press Coral for 5th Grade completes our upper elementary – middle school series. Coral’s integrated language arts/literature student textbook includes selections by Cynthia Rylant, Laura Ingalls Wilder, Isaac Asimov, Jean Craighead George and well-known poets Shel Silverstein, Beverly McLoughland, Myra Cohn Livingston, and Edna St. Vincent Millay. In addition to over 600 pages of prose, poetry, plays and nonfiction narratives, Coral’s student curriculum is developed around a unique feature called Lessons in Literature. Each lesson teaches language arts skills appropriate for the prose it precedes. Recognizing that reading skills instruction is an important attribute of a 5th grade language arts program, we feel it is essential to provide this pre-curriculum introduction to the more complex skills that will be studied with the major prose selections in each of the six units.

Teacher’s Annotated Edition
Printed in two-volumes for easy handling, Coral’s Teacher’s Edition is spiral bound, fully annotated, soft covered, and includes the answer guide to Coral’s workbook as well. This is an invaluable resource for all educators. The teacher notes that accompany the poetry selections are an education for teachers. The literary analysis of the selections educates the educator.  The detailed background notes preceding the prose selections will save hours in research—we include all the relevant material for you!
