Warp Reader Subscription

$25.00

You can watch a video about this product on the Year 1, Unit 1 Warp page.

PLEASE NOTE: The Online Warp is a rolling release.  This means that the Development Team at Lampstand Press is reasonably confident about its ability to produce materials at least one week ahead of all families who are following the traditional starting date of September 5th or later.  Rolling releases come with the disclaimer that it is possible the Development Team will fall significantly behind in its schedule.  However, in the case of these particular Online Warp products,  we have already loaded rough drafts of all weeks in History, Worldviews, and Literature, and we expect to load all the Geography maps for all weeks across all four years well before August 1st.  Therefore, the work still to be accomplished in these products will consist of adding more dates and details to the History articles, and adding some information or links (as appropriate) to the Fine Arts, Government, and Philosophy sections.

Description

This one-year online subscription provides access to your choice of four Warp Reader texts online (Year 1, Year 2, Year 3, or Year 4), plus sample answers for student History questions at the Dialectic and Rhetoric levels, and (optionally) links to primary sources and videos.

You can choose “Text Only,” which includes only the text written by Lampstand Press authors, or “Text + Media,” which includes links to YouTube videos, online primary sources, and other sites.  Each version of Warp costs the same; $25 for a full-year subscription, which starts on the day you purchase.  Both versions come with a complete set of student history question sample answers.  We wanted to give you a choice between Text and Text + Media in case you prefer not to have your children see links to other websites.

Please note that while this iteration of these products will contain some information and media links for Worldviews and Literature, and may contain some information and media links for Fine Arts, Philosophy, and Government, we only promise complete articles in History and complete resource maps in Geography.

The text included in this online subscription will provide enough information to cover your year’s study in Dialectic and Rhetoric History as taught in the Teacher’s Notes (aside from texts specifically mentioned in the discussion scripts).  You might choose to use it in any of the following ways:

  • Light Use: Use the Online Warp as a teacher reference for background notes, sample answers to student History questions, and video links.
  • Medium Use: In addition, replace a few one-week or two-week Topic Books from our Booklist by having your student read the text for that week from the Online Warp instead.  In this model, you would still purchase and use all of the regular History Spine Books listed below because they are referenced in student History questions.
  • Heavy Use: In addition to the uses already mentioned, have your student use the Online Warp as his Spine Book for History throughout the year.  Only purchase the History books from the list below that you want to add to your permanent library.  Modify, or Instruct your student to skip, any Accountability or Thinking questions that he cannot answer directly from the Warp and the books you have chosen.

If you still want to read all the books mentioned in Accountability or Thinking Questions in the Student Activity Pages, you will need most of the Primary Source History books in addition to the Online Warp:
