rootsnwings Posted June 10, 2011 Share Posted June 10, 2011 Not unless you want answers. You should be good without them though! We just started our 2nd book (we did orange last year and are working on blue this year) and I've not felt the need for a TM at all. HTH! :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiramisu Posted June 10, 2011 Share Posted June 10, 2011 I really never used the TM the year I bought one. The only time I would have used it was for the cumulative reviews for high school levels. And for that, it wasn't worth the expense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luckymama Posted June 10, 2011 Share Posted June 10, 2011 Nope. I've gone through levels A-H (?) with my kids. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

creekmom Posted June 11, 2011 Share Posted June 11, 2011 I like for my kids to check their own work, so I order their books early in the summer and write all the answers in a spiral notebook. -It's easy to do and great review for me as well.

You are amazing. I wish I could do this. This is my slacker-mom method: Don't check the answers on the regular exercises. Give them the test and see that their grade is 100 or 95 at least.;) I guess this method wouldn't be effective if my VW users didn't do well. My basic test includes having them write the word (check for correct spelling) and write the definition. I don't do this consistently any more with my high schooler, but I used to have her also write the part of speech and a sentence for the word (an idea I got from Kolbe Academy). I've slacked off on this, though, with my high schooler because it doesn't seem worth the time since she picks up vocab. easily and her time would be better spent with other things.
