sadiegirl Posted July 10, 2009 Share Posted July 10, 2009 Can you use this program and do the readings as a read-a-loud and discussion of the questions and material as a group and then each student do the individual exercises themselves? My reason for this is my boys love to read and I have reading lists already prepared for them to select their books from for this year. Can this program be used as a class discussion and group activity so it does not take away from their individual reading time? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laura Corin Posted July 10, 2009 Share Posted July 10, 2009 Yes, that would work fine so long as you have time to do the read alouds. Laura Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sadiegirl Posted July 10, 2009 Author Share Posted July 10, 2009 how much time per day and how often during a week do most of you allow for this program? I can manage to do reading every day but how much time is recommended to do the discussion and activities? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laura Corin Posted July 10, 2009 Share Posted July 10, 2009 I'm sorry, I'm not going to be able to answer that. I've done the programme over two years, so I haven't kept track of timings. Best wishes Laura Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tohru Posted July 11, 2009 Share Posted July 11, 2009 how much time per day and how often during a week do most of you allow for this program? I can manage to do reading every day but how much time is recommended to do the discussion and activities? It seems like the program is pretty flexible, although we are only on the 3rd chapter. lol I'm sure you could break the reading selection up however you want. As far as how often, we do it daily just because my son seems to like it a lot and has gotten inspired to write other things after each lesson. The discussion questions took us about 10-15 minutes and the activities have taken him about 15 minutes or so to complete. HTH! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
