Fifteen weeks, about four hours a week: instruction, drills, recorded talks, real-world assignments, guided analysis of ten great speeches, and a live family showcase. The back of the book is the documentation packet: scope and sequence, fifteen measurable objectives, a standards alignment, a four-level speaking rubric, a three-point progress record, four pacing calendars, a parent-verified hours log, and a certificate. Rubrics you can find elsewhere. An hours log and a certificate you cannot. Roughly 62 to 70 logged hours per semester. Both semesters together document the hours of a full credit, awarded by you. This is the course. The cohort is the room. The book will teach your student what to do. It cannot give them a room of peers, a live audience, and a coach watching their hands.

The documentation
Rubrics you can find elsewhere. An hours log a parent signs, and a certificate with a student's name on it, you cannot.

About the 2026-27 Edition
This is the 2026-27 Edition. Every Rhetrix title is dated, because every Rhetrix title gets rebuilt. Each summer we take a year of real families running these pages, cut what did not earn its place, and ship a new edition with new material. Your purchase is this edition, in full, for good, with any correction we publish to it at no charge. Next summer's edition is a new book with new work in it, sold on its own. We would rather earn the next one than hand it over.
Families usually add

Rhetrix provides instruction and documentation. Rhetrix is not an accredited institution and does not award academic credit. In a homeschool, the parent is the registrar.
