kymomof3 Posted August 9, 2010 Share Posted August 9, 2010 Are the teacher manuals necessary for these books? Thanks, Amie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrissySC Posted August 9, 2010 Share Posted August 9, 2010 Yes, to start the program you will need the TM. You will not understand the method or presentation. After the first level, it is iffy whether or not it is necessary. More a convience for grading and tracking after the initial setup. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kymomof3 Posted August 9, 2010 Author Share Posted August 9, 2010 Did you find these books helpful for spelling? Amie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrissySC Posted August 9, 2010 Share Posted August 9, 2010 Yes. We love them. DD is in the 4th grade. I like the syllabic (phonetic) approach. I think when we homeschool we stop phonics too early and/or do not start spelling early enough. This is my experience. I would go with Megawords or AAS. I had a touch choice between the two. I only chose Megawords because of grade appropriate lessons - designed to start in the fourth grade. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
