Spy Car Posted May 5, 2011 Share Posted May 5, 2011 I believe they are on Google Books if you want to download or preview them. Not sure about "hard copies." Bill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cindyz Posted May 5, 2011 Share Posted May 5, 2011 We have used the Primary level and are now on to Level 1. We love them. I buy them from Rainbow resource. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brown4girls Posted May 5, 2011 Share Posted May 5, 2011 I have used Level 3 and purchased from Lost Classics Book Company. I used the teacher's guide as well as the reader. The guide has comprehension questions and vocabulary words. For each story, there is a simple worksheet that reinforced a variety of concepts (opinion/fact, sequence, contractions).

historymatters Posted May 5, 2011 Share Posted May 5, 2011 Hard copies are published through Lost Classics Books: http://lostclassicsbooks.com/catalog/6 However, I've always bought mine via Amazon. You can use them with or without the workbooks (teacher's guide), depending upon your purpose. They are a wonderful collection. My children are on Level 3 and 4 and they've read them from the beginning. HTH, Rachel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Poke Salad Annie Posted May 5, 2011 Share Posted May 5, 2011 I'm so glad this was posted! I have been thinking about the same thing, and it has slipped my mind about asking for the links. Thank you very much! :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Poke Salad Annie Posted May 5, 2011 Share Posted May 5, 2011 I was confused about the teacher's guide myself. I thought my previous glance at the readers revealed plenty of discussion questions and vocabulary study. That was what drew me to them.

Dina in Oklahoma Posted May 5, 2011 Share Posted May 5, 2011 We are enjoying level 5! You can also find them on Amazon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ProudGrandma Posted May 5, 2011 Author Share Posted May 5, 2011 (edited) I have been using these Amazon.com: READING-LITERATURE Third Reader (Yesterday's Classics) (9781599152677): Harriette Taylor Treadwell, Margaret Free, but they stop at grade 4 and don't have a TE to go with them...but they look pretty similar, yes?? here is a link for you to look inside http://www.yesterdaysclassics.com/previews/treadwell_third_preview.pdf Edited May 5, 2011 by NEprairemom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stripe Posted May 5, 2011 Share Posted May 5, 2011 (edited) Incidentally, you can get all the Treadwell/Free readers online up to grade 6 at least. I used them and liked them (and we discussed them in the recent non-babyish readers thread). From Google Books -- where some are mislabeled -- Reading--literature: the primer Reading-literature: Book 1 Reading Literature: Second Reader Reading Literature: Third reader Reading-literature fourth reader Reading Literature: Fifth reader (took me forever to find!) Reading-literature : sixth reader And the manual -- Primary reading and literature: a manual for teachers Primer through Year 3 at Main Lesson (nicely formatted for reading off a computer screen).

I bought the primer and #1 from Amazon, the ones published by Yesterday's Classics. They have primer through #3. Note that there IS a teacher's manual. There are some overpriced versions you can buy. For that price, I'd rather just print off the website and hole-punch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
krismoose Posted May 6, 2011 Share Posted May 6, 2011 I bought the Free & Treadwell primer & First reader from Amazon (not a marketplace seller) for around $10 each a couple of years ago. I think you can find at least up to the 3rd reader on there... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am sorry, I wasn't clear...I have the primer through 4th grade...I would like the 5th and 6th grade books...I guess I never thought to just print the and hole punch the teacher's guide...that is a good idea. Is it worth the money to do that?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stripe Posted May 6, 2011 Share Posted May 6, 2011 I can't find the manual on Yesterday's Classics' website, but it is on Main Lessons' website (they are connected organizations). You could email the people at Yesterday's Classics and ask. It's less than 75 pages on Google books. (There are some sellers selling the manual on Amazon for ~$20. Personally I wouldn't pay that much.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ProudGrandma Posted May 6, 2011 Author Share Posted May 6, 2011 (There are some sellers selling the manual on Amazon for ~$20. Personally I wouldn't pay that much.) you don't think it is worth it?? Maybe I will just consider the books. I just wish I could find a hard copy of the 5th and 6th grade book. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SunD Posted May 6, 2011 Share Posted May 6, 2011 kfeusse, you can buy a hard copy printed like a regular book. Follow stripe's links to the 5th, 6th, and teacher manual (I think that's what you wanted, right?). There on Google Books, on the left-hand side there is a blue button that says Free. Scroll down inside that window and you will see Get This Book. Click on the On Demand Books link. On Demand Books are little printing presses that bind it and make it just like a regular paperback book. Some of the places that have these will ship them, or you might be able to find one in your area and go pick it up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, I wouldn't pay $20+ for a book that I can read online, print out for a few dollars at most, and is less than 75 pages, unless there was some compelling reason (like great artwork). The OnDemand books link for the manual takes you to http://net.ondemandbooks.com/google/t9xEAAAAIAAJ and might I add, the prices are $10 and under. Not sure why it lists the page number as so large.
