seewah Posted July 2, 2011 Share Posted July 2, 2011 Getting ready to hit the submit button on my order for MCT materials but I am debating whether I could go with the "Basic" packages for both Island and Voyage ... or if I truly will need the "Complete" packages for both. If you purchased these items before, do you feel both student and teacher books are necessary or can I get by with just the "Basic" package contents just fine. It will save me $105 if I go with the cheaper option. And for those who have used Level 4 (Lens and Word 1 materials) do you feel the complete package is a necessity or is the basic package adequate for this level? I have not completely decided if I am going to go with Voyage or Level 4 for my 7th grader. Thanks for your input! :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Capt_Uhura Posted July 2, 2011 Share Posted July 2, 2011 For Island, you only need the homeschool package w/ the teacher guide. For Practice Island you want a student book for each kid unless you plan to do all 100 sentences on a board or type them up or dictate them and a teacher guide. Darn, I can't recall now about Voyage. I seem to recall there is a book in Voyage level where you want both the student and teacher book. I hope someone chimes in on that b/c I need to order Voyage level this weekend. I seem to recall in the upper levels you need both or else you'd be typing in all the quizzes but I'd ask at the high school forum about level 4.

seewah Posted July 2, 2011 Author Share Posted July 2, 2011 Thanks so much! I think I will go with the basic package for Island. Hoping someone can weigh in on Voyage materials! :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
radiobrain Posted July 2, 2011 Share Posted July 2, 2011 Go with basic for Voyage as well. If I were going to add anything, I would say that a student book for Essay Voyage would be very nice, but it could be looked at as a luxury. RFWP has actually have done a lovely job figuring out what is the minimum and what is the deluxe package. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Capt_Uhura Posted July 2, 2011 Share Posted July 2, 2011 Yes, I went and looked at the homeschool package for Voyage and it only has the teacher books. It's level 4 where if you look at the homeschool package, both teacher and student books are listed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zoo_keeper Posted July 3, 2011 Share Posted July 3, 2011 I'm planning on the TM for all of the level 1 books plus the student workbook for practice island. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MorningGlory Posted July 3, 2011 Share Posted July 3, 2011 If I were going to add anything, I would say that a student book for Essay Voyage would be very nice, but it could be looked at as a luxury. :iagree: I originally ordered just the TE of Essay Voyage, but after looking over it carefully when it came, I realized that it would be very, very nice to have the student text, too. So much so...that I made a special order for one. I decided that it would be too difficult to discuss all the information in the book with just one copy (with all the answers filled in). It was worth it $-wise to me (and I'm not one to part with $ easily). HTH! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seewah Posted July 3, 2011 Author Share Posted July 3, 2011 Sounds like I'll be adding a student book for Essay Voyage to my order. Thanks to all who have mentioned that! :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
