Grammar and Writing by Stephen Hake, co-author of the Saxon middle-grades math books. (I just call it "Saxon Grammar" since it has the same format as Saxon math).

A comprehensive language arts program based on the Saxon model of incremental development and continual review. Follows the same format as the Saxon math books. Available for grades 5-8, $75.
PAC: Paradigm Accelerated Curriculum. Values-based, non-sectarian courses for jr. high and high school. I was very pleased to meet the founder, Ronald Johnson, at the IDEA homeschool convention this spring, and am excited to be carrying this unique program. When you have time, read Mr. Johnson's inspiring story on their website (click on "about", the "journey essay"). Every PAC course (except American History) consists of 5 or 6 chapters, each individually bound in an easy-to-digest workbook format. Also included are activity books for each chapter, and teacher guides with quizzes, tests and answer keys. Designed for independent study (No lesson plans or preparation are needed by the parent.) Uplifting and optimistic life principles are woven throughout each course. English for grades 8-12, Math for grades 7-8, Science for grades 7-12, American History (2 years worth of material in this course! Thorough and balanced. Read Cathy Duffy's review here).
