mlbuchina Posted May 3, 2011 Share Posted May 3, 2011 Would this be a good supplement to use with a child who seems to need more practice than OPGTR has? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amy in KS Posted May 4, 2011 Share Posted May 4, 2011 I've seen it. For the most part, they've re-printed and bound Word Mastery (a public domain book). You can see that here: http://donpotter.net/PDF/Word%20Mastery%20-%20Typed.pdf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PentecostalMom Posted May 4, 2011 Share Posted May 4, 2011 I tried. Before OPG. Pages are very bland and there is a lot of writing which was ok with dd, but the retention wasn't there. I think part of that was because she had to focus so hard on so much writing, the phonetic part was not sinking in. She is doing much better with OPG. That being said, depending on your child, I would supplement with ETC or something else with less writing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mlbuchina Posted May 4, 2011 Author Share Posted May 4, 2011 Thank you! @amy_in_ks I'll check out that link. Even if it is just lists of words for her to practice, I think it might help. @PentecostalMom Oh, I didn't know it had writing in it. No, that will never do. I'll check out ETC, as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
momofabcd Posted May 4, 2011 Share Posted May 4, 2011 Classical Phonics in itself does not have writing in it. MP's First Start Reading is what has all the writing. That said, I've had Classical Phonics in my hand, and I don't think it's as comprehensive as OPGTR. You may just want to camp out a little longer on each page. Maybe copy the words onto cards for more practice, or have her spell a few words orally or with tiles from each list. I know this process helped to cement concepts for my dd.
