Is Hake Grammar secular and is TM needed?

title says it all.

Yes and it depends. ;)

 

It is secular. You need the TM is you want quick and easy checking. You could always go through the exercises yourself and find the answers. It depends on your comfort level and how much time you have. :001_smile:

 

The TM has a couple pages of suggested schedules, but mostly is an answer key.

Agreed, completely secular. This will be our third year with Hake Grammar. I have had the TM all three year, never touched it the first year, looked at it maybe 2-3 times last year (and that was because I was in a hurry and that was faster than trying to figure it out myself). I expect I may need it a little more this year and a little more next year, but if you have more time than money and can take the time to go through the exercise yourself if your kid is stuck, it's definitely 'skippable'. If you want to do the writing workbook with it, you may want it for the schedule, but otherwise just remember there is a test every 5 lessons but not after lesson 5. (Test 1 is after lesson 10, test 2 is after lesson 15, and so on.)

Also, if you want to give the tests, you'll need the TM. Blank tests and answers keys to them are both in there.

I agree it's secular and I would definitely want the TM.

Yes it is secular. Yes you need the Teacher Packet and Student Textbook. No, you do not need the Student Workbook if you are not using the writing portion (this contains the writing assignments ONLY, the grammar is fully contained in the Student Textbook).
