4 day Reader Option
- We will sell and use only the 5-day Reader sets
- We will tighten the 4 Day reader schedule where the 4 day students will read extra/beyond what the 5 day kids will do. Everyone will read all the Readers. In the Core IG they will cover all the books over 4 days that the 5-day program covers in 5 days (i.e. they will have slightly longer assignments. If there are 100 pages to read in a week the 5 day kids will average 20 pages per day M-F; the 4-day kids will need to average 25 pages per day).
- All students will read the same books each week; the 4 day students will read the books more quickly.
2008 Core 5 IG Errors:
- Week 6 - Unreached People Groups has note telling customer to re-set the tape counter to zero each time they use it. This is no longer true with the DVD version. (12.2.08)
- Week 7 (4-day) - Unreached People Groups tracks 3 and 4 are identical. Reminder note for customers at bottom of schedule page. (12.3.08)
- Week 8 (5-day) - Unreached People Groups tracks 3 and 4 are identical. Reminder note for customers at bottom of schedule page. (12.3.08)
- Core 5 IG Replacement Pages - Core 5 IG schedule pages with corrected 4-day Advanced Readers Schedule were mailed to customers on 9.25.08. (9.29.08)
- Version 2 of 5TB was sent to the printer 6.17.08 - changes included Corrected 4-day Reader schedule, 4-day Book List, and the Search Smartly Answer Key. (7.24.08)
- 4-day Reader Schedule is incorrect (Correct schedule can be found in LA5 IG). Corrected schedule will be posted on Curriculum Updates page next week. (5.28.08)
- 4-day Book List is missing. 4-day Book List will be posted on Curriculum Updates page next week. (5.28.08)
Book defects, backorders, edition changes, etc.
- The Land I Lost (5A19) - significant customer complaint about the content of this book will warrant a note about its graphic nature in the 2009 Core 5 IG (2.10.09)
- Mission to Cathay (5R34) - copies shipped in June & July are missing the first four chapters. Current copies are fine. CR will be emailing all customers to alert them to check their copy. Replacement copies will be sent to those in need. (12.3.08)
- The Cat Who Went to Heaven (5R06) Third Aladdin Paperbacks edition 2008. New illustrations and text reflowed, so the page numbers have changed. Curriculum Updates page has new schedule and notes. (7.1.08)
- Commodore Perry issues: This title (6H06) is on backorder until December 5th. It is a major component of the study of Japan in Core5, which begins in weeks 7 and 5 (5-day and 4-day respectively). In order for customers who have purchased Core 5 and are waiting for this book to continue to do school, we have adjusted the schedule of Core 5 to study Japan and Korea after China, allowing for the book to come in before it is scheduled.
- We have reprinted 5TB with the adjusted schedule for anyone ordering Core 5 from now until the title is back in stock. You will be able to tell this adjusted version on the Repurchase Page in the back of the IG. Under the barcode it will say "Ver. 2(CP)". Once we have received Commodore Perry back in the warehouse, we will switch back to Version 1 of 5TB. For those who already own a 2008 Core 5, we will be sending a letter.doc and adjusted schedule. If you have any questions about the updated 5TB, Judy and Rhonda will have a copy. (10.21.08)
- 10.22.08 Update: The adjusted 5TB schedules are now in-house and will be packaged and sent, hopefully by end of day on Thursday (10.23). It should take about three days to ship in the US. These will be sent to 2008 Core 5 customers. In the meantime, if customers need assistance, here are the revised pages (no notes) for the 4-day (weeks 4-7) and 5-day (weeks 5-8) schedule:
- Tales of a Korean Grandmother - cover has changed but content and page numbering has not. 1.17.08
- Praying Through the 100 Gateway Cities of the 10/40 Window (8.23.07) The book Praying Through the 100 Gateway Cities of the 10/40 Window was first published in 1995. It has been reprinted several times, but a revised or updated version has not been published. Though there may have been changes in population and government in some places, the historical and cultural information is correct and enlightening and the prayer points are still valid for today.
- Star of Light details 7.18.07 Around 2001 the publisher released a shorter, simpler, modified version of Star of Light. Sarita felt the story was compelling in both versions. The "new" version keeps all the main points of the original story, but takes less pages to do so. Since we don't carry the story as 'great literature', Sarita preferred the shorter version. Customers can easily read the older, longer version. Sarita does not believe they will have any problems with the questions.
Core 5 IG mailing
Core 5 IG and the first five weeks of black and white Eastern Hemisphere Explorer, or just the first five weeks of black and white Eastern Hemisphere Explorer is expected to ship out to all backorder customers on 5/21/08. The shipment will include a Customer Relations letter.doc. The entire color version of EHE will then ship on or about June 20th (even though our backorder page says July 1). CR has contacted everyone who received the earlier email update to tell them of our change in plans. (5.20.08)
2008 Update
Core 5 IG and EHE are still in production and thus we are unable to provide any answers as to how these two products interact or depend on World Book 2008. Once those products become available we will have answers. (4.2.08)
Core 5 IG [3.19.08]
- removed the World Book schedule from 5TB
- added the EHE schedule to 5TB
- EHE is no longer a stand-alone product. A customer must have 5TB to get the EHE schedule.

- We expect this product to become available 5.1.08. (3.19.08) [Click link for more info]
World Book details
product description, etc.
- The World Book schedule has been removed from 5TB; and added the EHE schedule to 5TB. Information will be added to 5TB to indicate that World Book should be used as a research tool. This essentially makes EHE the "spine" for Core 5 history. (3.19.08)
