Bokons Posted February 19, 2012 Share Posted February 19, 2012 I just got the ETC ABC books for my ds 5, and on some of the pages, there are a bunch of pictures with instructions to "Listen; then follow the direction". Where are the directions? I flipped through the whole book but don't see them anywhere. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amselby81 Posted February 19, 2012 Share Posted February 19, 2012 (edited) There is a teacher's manual for them. It's great! It has actual lessons in it. And you only need one for all three books. The pages that have just pictures on it will have instructions like this: Now, which one of these pictures is an animal that swims in the ocean? Point to it. What is it? (fish) What sound does the word fish begin with? /f/ Now, put a box around the fish. Etc. http://www.christianbook.com/explode-code-teachers-guide-books-and/9780838808528/pd/379852?item_code=WW&netp_id=431363&event=ESRCG&view=detailsI just edited this link, b/c it wasn't working for me. I was using swagbucks as my browser. I don't know if anyone else had problems, but I went ahead and swapped the link with what I got with a different browser.

Kathryn Posted February 19, 2012 Share Posted February 19, 2012 The only thing I used the manual for was those pages. You can easily do it yourself saying things like pp said. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amselby81 Posted February 19, 2012 Share Posted February 19, 2012 It's only $7, but you're right. The other pages can be done w/o the manual. The pages with the pictures will varie the instructions, though. So basically you describe what you want them to identify, have them identify it, ask them what the beginning sound is to enforce it, then tell them to do something to it. The directions usually say something like to draw a box around, circle, color a certain color, draw a basket around, etc etc. I still like that the manual tells you how to teach the sound. It will refer to flashcards, which I don't use. You can easily make your own flashcards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mommee & Baba Posted February 19, 2012 Share Posted February 19, 2012 I didn't even know there was a TM to these. Glad you posted this question! I ordered the 3 primer books to use with ds next year and didn't get the TM as I had no idea there was one. I will be ordering it.:001_smile: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
