• The specific sentence in a text that answers a literal text-dependent question
• The six question-word categories (who/what/when/where/why/how)
• The distinction between directly relevant evidence and a true-but-irrelevant sentence from the same text
• The two-part test for a complete sentence (subject present, verb present)
• The specific missing part (subject or verb) in a given fragment
• Two distinct valid answers to one text-dependent question, each backed by a different sentence in the same passage
• Evidence sentences supporting answers to six mixed-type text-dependent questions on an unfamiliar passage

Every lesson is written for a parent with no teaching background: it opens with a short script to read aloud, names the specific wrong idea a student is likely to reach for and how to correct it, and closes with a practice sheet you may copy for your household. Scripture references are King James Version throughout. Black-and-white, 8.5 x 11 in. The whole year of this course is also in this store as a single book.
