LanaTron Posted November 30, 2009 Share Posted November 30, 2009 If put my ds into MCT island level (using all components but the poetry), how much time should I expect to spend each day and/or week on this? And I have read at least once that the teacher materials are not very user friendly. Yes or no? How about compared to something scripted like FLL/WWE?

LanaTron Posted November 30, 2009 Author Share Posted November 30, 2009 At this level, does the child actually get practice at forming different sentences? Or is it all just analyzing other sentences? I've looked at the samples, and either couldn't tell, or I have forgotten. :tongue_smilie: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yslek Posted November 30, 2009 Share Posted November 30, 2009 Thanks to this thread (and other recent MCT threads) I have just taken the plunge and ordered the MCT Island level package for T. :D I think I'll have B continue in GWG and WT2. He's super resistant to change, and the MCT stuff doesn't look like something he'd "click" with. (Plus, I'm 90% sure I'll have him do K12 English next year.) Thank you so much to all of you who have answered questions about this curriculum. Hopefully it'll be a good fit, and bring some joy back to LA here. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LanaTron Posted December 2, 2009 Author Share Posted December 2, 2009 Okay, thanks. I am leaning more towards getting this for my ds10. Hopefully I can order in January, so he can get started. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
