The
Saxon Home Study Kits are a more independent, parent-led edition of the
Saxon courses. Unlike the older, hardcover editions of the Saxon books,
we have not developed Lesson Plans to accompany the Home Study Kits.
The Home Study Kit bundle includes 3 books: the softcover textbook, the
Solutions Manual (answer key), and the Tests/Worksheets booklet.
Testing with the Home Study Kit:
For
this edition of the course, tests are located in the Tests/Worksheets
booklet (towards the back of the booklet). In the
Tests/Worksheets booklet, a Testing Schedule is printed on the page
before Test 1. This schedule will show when to administer tests. Answer keys for the tests are
located in the Solutions Manual (towards the back of the manual).
The
parent grades all of the tests, but submits the graded, even-numbered
tests to Seton as proof of work. When submitting the even-numbered
tests, please make sure that your parent grade is clearly visible at the
top of the test. You may upload the graded, even-numbered tests to
MySeton, and we will enter these grades on your student's report card.
With Saxon, how many lessons should my student complete per week?
Saxon
recommends a weekly schedule of 3-5 math lessons per week. You are welcome to move at your student's pace, however.
