Sue G in PA Posted April 22, 2008 Share Posted April 22, 2008 I'm ordering AAS from somebody (used) and was wondering how necessary the extra materials packet was for additional children? Trying to save money where I can, but want to have what I need, KWIM? Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quad Shot Academy Posted April 22, 2008 Share Posted April 22, 2008 I *think* only if you are going to have two children in the same level, at the same time, would you need two packets. If you will, then I highly recommend it. I could be wrong though, maybe when you move to the next level, you need to carry over some of the cards, but I doubt it, because I imagine that the next level has everything you need. I hope someone can give you a more definite answer than that! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teamturner Posted April 22, 2008 Share Posted April 22, 2008 I think you DO need the extra materials packet for each child. I set up an index box for each child and put their names on it with some fun stick on letters. Then when each child's lesson time comes, I just have them get their box. Since each child's mastery of the material and pace through the program is different then they each need their own set of cards. I did however make the mistake of buying 3 sets of letter tiles and I only needed one. Although I may have a separate set of tiles for younger child since the older two will be using phonograms and diagraphs that will clutter her work space and be distracting to her I think. I haven't gotten that far yet!! :001_smile: I am working with 3 children right now. The older two are moving into the next book and many of the phonogram and sound cards are used in book 2. I hope this anwers your question. p.s. No baby yet? I was praying about that this weekend. Blessings! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sue G in PA Posted April 22, 2008 Author Share Posted April 22, 2008 Thanks to you both. I'll go ahead and get the extra packs since they are such a good, used price! So, I don't need the extra tiles? I might just go ahead and get those, too, since I'll be teaching 3 at once and have another right on their heels! Michelle, thanks for your prayers re: the baby. Not yet. I've been praying, too. Dh went out of town today (don't even ASK me how upset I am about THAT!) so I think the stress of that will keep labor from coming. Thanks...keep the prayers coming b/c I'm looking and feeling like the little girl in Charlie and the Chocolate Factory (original) who turned into the grape after eating the chewing gum! (minus the blue coloring, of course!) :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted April 23, 2008 Share Posted April 23, 2008 Well, I just ordered one packet for my two. But we do flashcards everyday, anyway. I don't think it is needed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
