Bonnie Terry Learning


Before working with the Homeschool Crew, I had never heard of Bonnie Terry Learning.  I'll assume that you have not as well, and try to give a brief description ...
Bonnie Terry is a Board Certified Education Therapist who started Bonnie Terry Learning in 1992 as a way to help share her learning support materials with teachers and parents around the world!  Ms. Terry says, "Our philosophy is that all students can learn; they just need the tools and the encouragement to find their wings to reach their goals. And we have results to prove that this is true."

Several members of our Crew have received a variety pack of materials from Bonnie Terry Learning for their review.  These items include the following:

Five Minutest to Better Reading Skills (Student & Teacher Books)

Five Minutes to Better Reading Skills turns your child or students into confident readers in five minutes a day with these 45 phonic reading drills. Perfect for anyone with short attention spans; spend only five minutes a day in individual or group lessons leading your child or student to success. This reading approach has proven to be very effective for all ages. The approach improves reading through visual and auditory learning.

 

 

Making Spelling Sense (Book)

In this spelling program, students learn how to spell over 500 of the most frequently used words in the English language. By using this step-by-step method, your child or student will be able to spell thousands of words. Using visual, auditory, and tactile modes of learning, they are sure to learn. It is phonetically and sequentially based. It also strengthens visual perception through the puzzles and other exercises that are provided. There is a structure to English, and if we teach spelling according to the structure, everyone can spell!

 

10 Minutes to Better Study Skills (Book)

Practical 10-minute exercises, students will soon be on their way to higher test scores, improved writing skills and more! Spiral-bound workbook features reproducible activities and tips to help students organize information, take notes, make comparisons and write essays. Includes reproducible planning calendars, test taking tips, research paper organizers and more!

 

 

The Writers Easy Reference Guide

The Writers Easy Reference Guide takes the pain out of learning to write! The Writers Guide is 12 pages packed with tips, hints and short lessons to guide your child or your students through the sentence, paragraph, essay and letter writing maze. The hints and insights will improve the clarity, complexity, and quality of writing for students ages 7 to adult. INCLUDES: Paragraph Writing Hints, Essay Writing Hints for the Four Basic Essays, Steps of the Writing Process, Words to Make Your Writing More Interesting, Common Prefixes, Suffixes, and Root Words, Grammatical & Literary Terms, How to Write a Bibliography with examples, and much more!

 

BT Easy Math Reference Guide

The BT Easy Math Reference Guide is 16 pages packed with all the math your child or student needs to know for 1st through 8th grade math! GREAT as a refresher for all parents trying to remember how to solve that homework problem. Includes: Addition, Subtraction, Multiplication, Division Fractions, Decimals, Percents, Word Problem Strategies and Math Vocabulary, plus much more.

 

 

 

The Sentence Zone (Game)

Improve writing and grammar skills. For 2 to 6 players, grades 1st and up. Rules are easily mastered. The Sentence Zone can be played at six levels - from Level 1 in which the player builds a subject and verb sentence, to Level 6 in which the player builds complex sentences with independent and dependent clauses. With over 500 color coded cards, students are sure to be unique and entertaining every time. A great reinforcing individual activity where a player keeps track of his score from day to day, trying to top his previous score, or a great group activity where competition drives creativity and learning. An instructive and enjoyable way to shatter the tedium of English grammar lessons!

Feb. 10, 2009 - Sentence Zone/ Writer's Reference

Posted by Jean
Have to tell you, playing the Sentence Zone game got kind of wild and wacky, with three people scrambling for cards at once, trying to build the longest, most complex, most entertaining sentence possible!

See my review at the Mr. Linky for more comments on the Zone and the Writer's Reference Guide.
