Megawords

How do you use this program and how independent is it?

 

Thanks!

I use it w my 8 yo and find it to be very independent. We do have to go over definitions at the end of the chapter, and we make flash cards and other games once a week or so for that, but that's it. Very easy :)

I just follow the teacher's guide. We do a lesson a day. DS can do most of it by himself. Even on days where I need to help, we usually don't spend more than 10 or 15 minutes on it.

:iagree:

 

We completed Megawords 1-8. It was important in Megawords 1 to make sure that ds understood the material because the rest of the series is built on breaking down megawords into syllables. After that, ds generally worked on his own. I would check, discuss mistakes, and do the testing.

Thanks for all the help and links. I did look at the TM for book 1 and just fell in a fog. I'll try again. At least now I get that I don't need to pre-test. I think I got confused when I saw the student book and then all the words on one page....

 

I can feel my head hurt already!! Baby-fog...
