Mama2Three Posted February 3, 2010 Share Posted February 3, 2010 I decided to buy the CW Primers, but I'm not sure whether I need to get the Teaching Helps for each season. There is one for each season, but from the samples it looks like they are the same inside. Is there any information in these books that is specific to the particular season? Thanks! :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dawn E Posted February 3, 2010 Share Posted February 3, 2010 I only purchased one, so I'm not sure if there is a difference. I think you get all the info you really need in one...but hopefully someone who has purchased them all will chime in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hlee Posted February 3, 2010 Share Posted February 3, 2010 Hi there--I've been using CW Primers this year. The teaching helps are useful; they provide background on the artists and summarize the grammar/spelling rules that are being taught; they also provide background on the nature studies. It's also very helpful to use the online resources they provide as well. I can't remember how much the teaching helps cost, but I don't think they're very much, and I think it's always helpful to have extra background for context and to understand what the curriculum is trying to get at. So, I would recommend getting them if you're using Primers. HTH! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hlee Posted February 3, 2010 Share Posted February 3, 2010 P.S. and yes, the teaching helps are specific to each season's books. There are general suggestions in the beginning of each Primer that are the same, but that's not the same as the info in the teaching helps. Good luck!

Dawn E Posted February 3, 2010 Share Posted February 3, 2010 I think you should take hlee's advice as I have not utilized the TM as much as I obviously should have. :D At $1.50 a download, it's not too bad of an investment either way.

Mama2Three Posted February 3, 2010 Author Share Posted February 3, 2010 Thanks! I don't mind buying them if they are useful, just didn't want to waste money if they were going to sit on the shelf. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MyLittleWonders Posted February 3, 2010 Share Posted February 3, 2010 I don't use them often, though in the Winter Primer there is stuff to read to the kids for the nature study. I bought the ebook version and have not regretted it, though I think if I had paid for print and shipping, I probably would have second thought it.
