2022-23 Curriculum • Exams • Office Hours

We are so excited about the 2022-23 Alveary curriculum! Our whole team of Alveary staff and volunteers are working diligently to prepare lesson plans and other resources that we hope will bless your entire family. Please pray for the team as we persevere to finish this work.

Which aspect or component of the Alveary do you value most? Let us know in this post in the Hive.

Notes

1. 2022-23 Curriculum: We look forward to publishing our 2022-23 Alveary curriculum next week. In the meantime, we appreciate your forbearance in awaiting replies to any messages you may have sent via the “Contact” button on our website or in the Hive. We will begin catching up with correspondence after June 1.

2. Exams: While not strictly required, we do find it invaluable to receive a copy of completed and scored exams for the purposes of research and book evaluation. If you are willing to share your student’s exam with us, please compile any separate files you have (from scanned pages, etc.) into a single PDF. Name the file “[Student’s Name] [Grade] T3 Exam.”  Upload the exam PDF via the Dropbox link appropriate to the student’s Form:

Form 1 (Grades 1-3) Exams Form 4 (Grade 9) Exams

Form 2 (Grades 4-6) Exams Form 5 (Grade 10-11) Exams

Form 3 (Grades 7-8) Exams Form 6 (Grade 12) Exams

Complete instructions are provided at the beginning of each exam document.

Queries

Office Hours: Here are the videos from our time with Lisa Cadora last week:
  1. What can you do with your students before they start formal reading lessons?
  2. How do you know when students are ready to read and why doesn’t Charlotte Mason promote reading until around age 6?
  3. How are the Alveary reading lessons different from a reading program that is primarily a systematic phonics approach?
  4. What are some tips to help a student who is struggling with learning to read?
  5. If my 10-year-old child is still a non-reader, should I use oral instruction for grammar?
  6. What should I do if my student is already reading and we have not finished all the Alveary reading lessons?
  7. For 3rd grade or younger students who are reading fluently but have not finished the reading lessons, what kind of grammar lessons should we do?
  8. Where should a student start in the Alveary reading lessons if they are coming from a different reading program?

Please note our schedule for the upcoming weeks:
  • June 1 No Office Hours – lesson plan publication day
  • June 8 Join us for a walk-through of the 2022-23 lesson plans!
  • June 15 No Office Hours – travel to CMI Conference

If you have questions you would like our team to address, please submit them at least 24 hours in advance by commenting on the event in The Hive.
