So, here are lessons 11-15 from the McGuffy Primer. These five lessons actually have a bit more work in them than the other ten I've done, and I think the workload will probably get bigger as I go on. I might need to cut down to one lesson a day, very quickly, here.
Lesson 11 worked on the letters "e," x," and the combination "sh" (the last one, "sh," being a bit difficult for me to differentiate from "s" in speech. Yay for deafness! *sarcasm*).
I think hens really get the raw end of the deal when it comes to primers or early readers. They're called fat, their eggs are in danger... primers are just not very nice to hens.
Lesson 12 worked on "o" and "u" for new letters, and a sentence in cursive to practice.
Lesson 13 works on the letters "o," "y," "ck," and "w."
And Lesson 14 works on "a," "o," "k," and "y," with some of the letters having been used before. Also on this page is the start of lesson 15, which is review.
Lesson 15 is continued on the next page.
And here is my homework from the lessons. As I said, it's starting to get long, to do the homework, so I might start just doing one lesson a day, instead of five a day, pretty soon here.
YAY! I actually think my penmanship is improving.
So far, the readings have been pretty dull in the primer. So much so, that I almost forget to read them, and after I've read them, I pretty much forget them. They are much less complex than Wayne Grudem's Systematic Theology, or John MacArthur's The Gospel According to Jesus. The first one is one my pastor is preaching on, the second is one I'm going through on the recommendation of my pastor's wife. After I finish The Gospel according to Jesus, I'm planning on moving on to Paul Washer's The Gospel's Power and Message, (which I just got in the mail, after ordering it long enough ago that I had no idea what had come in the mail for me. Hooray for snail mail!).
In other news, I want a dog. Yes, a dog. No, I can't have one, I'm too busy, but that doesn't stop me from wanting one. I've already started a list of names I could use. Here's what I've got so far;
Sir Licksalot
Puddlejumper (Puddles)
Mary Puppins (Puppins, for short)
Henry Waggersworth Longtail
The Mad Wagger (Alice in Wonderland reference)
And if you have any other name ideas, feel free too comment. All of mine are terrible (except, perhaps, Sir Licksalot...I really am proud of that one.).
Oh, and I have the answer the the Mad Hatter's question, "How is a raven like a writing desk?"
