abrightmom Posted October 16, 2011 Share Posted October 16, 2011 Do you use "just the hardcover text" or do you use a workbook format such as ILL with Living Books Curriculum? Do you use a Teacher's Guide? I've seen these around on the web. What exactly do you use and why? WHERE do you purchase these items? :001_smile: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ummto4 Posted October 17, 2011 Share Posted October 17, 2011 I use PLL ebook (workbook) from: http://www.primarylanguagelessons.com No teacher guide. I also own Hillside PLL. I'm gearing up for ILL early 2012 and will buy the ebook (wrkbook) from http://www.intermediatelanguagelessons.com I'm buying a TM for this one.

cbollin Posted October 17, 2011 Share Posted October 17, 2011 My middle child used just the hard cover - Lost Classics edition, and regular paper and dry erase board and out loud exercises too. My youngest - I splurged and got the workbook version from living books. that way I could have it all in one place to show to her speech therapist. The Lost Classics teacher edition didn't exist when my middle gal did the program. I didn't have trouble without one. But I was on another board where people asked a lot of questions, so one day I got a crazy idea to put together a bunch of notes to use the lost classics edition. then of course they publisher's a teacher's version with 'extra seat work" and such. here are my notes http://board.mfwbooks.com/viewtopic.php?f=19&t=2188&p=67941p67941 From what I've heard people like the teacher's guide - not a huge cost over 2 years. has extra teaching notes, more answer keys, and a rubric at the back for evaluating. I was fine without all of that. But it's nice having stuff out there now -crystal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sagira Posted October 17, 2011 Share Posted October 17, 2011 I have PLL, the hardback version and the teachers guide, both available at Rainbow Resource Center. I really like this program. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LoveBaby Posted October 17, 2011 Share Posted October 17, 2011 I like the primarylanguagelessons.com workbooks better than Living Books Curriculum versions. I've seen both and I much prefer the formatting of Cynthia's version to LBC's. The teacher's guide isn't a must have IMO, but you could use it with the workbook version if you felt you needed it. I would have loved having a workbook version when I did PLL a couple of years ago! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You do not need all 3. I liked having them because I could look in the textbook as we were doing a lesson, or if it was not a writing lesson dd would use the textbook and I liked the teachers edition because of all the extension ideas it gave. You do not need all 3 though! Everything is self contained in the textbook, OR the workbook and the teachers edition is not necessary at all- just a nice convenience.

momto2Cs Posted October 17, 2011 Share Posted October 17, 2011 I use the printable workbooks from Cynce's Place. I haven't used a TM yet (don't own them), and we've been doing just fine. I've got one child using PLL and the other ILL. They love the books, the workbook format makes it simple, and I think they are learning a lot!
