Gentlemommy Posted September 17, 2012 Share Posted September 17, 2012 What are your thoughts on this? I got four manuals for free a few years ago. I think they must be an older version, because the ones that I have look different from what they sell now...mine are four manuals that go from 1-6(?) grade, not one per year. If I decided to use these, would I need anything else? It seems that the curriculum they sell now comes with more stuff? :confused: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Down_the_Rabbit_Hole Posted September 17, 2012 Share Posted September 17, 2012 Not sure about the ones you have. The 'more stuff' is for the younger grades, they have readers from LLATL. I have used LLATL with older students, HS or 7th grade so I am not sure about the younger grades. I found it to be very light for 7th grade but got the job done. HS levels were great.

Gentlemommy Posted September 17, 2012 Author Share Posted September 17, 2012 Ok, what I have is four books- Red-says 2nd grade skills on the back Tan-says 4-6 grade Purple-5&6 grade Gray-7-9 grade Weird. On the inside cover is says the series is- Red-2 grade Yellow-3 grade Tan-4-6 grade Gray-7-9 grade And future publications will be- 1st grade 4-5 grade 5-7 grade 9-12 grade This is copyright 1991 So I guess I'm wondering what I'd need to buy to make this complete?! I'm thinking a third grade one...but all the other grades are covered in mine, or am I missing something by not having the specific grade books each year?? I'm confused. :tongue_smilie: Was this the full curriculum set before they started making books for each year? Does 4-6 mean it can be used for ONE of those grades, or that the book should last me through ALL of those grades? Help!!:confused: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Down_the_Rabbit_Hole Posted September 17, 2012 Share Posted September 17, 2012 The 4-6 range is for when to use it. Either for 4th, or 5th, or 6th...not for 3 yrs of use. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Down_the_Rabbit_Hole Posted September 17, 2012 Share Posted September 17, 2012 Looks like you will need a 3rd grade book for sure. As for the other books, if you do one a year you will need to add in more. Have you looked at the samples online? Compare them with what you have? I would call them and ask, tell them what you have and see what they say. Before you buy anything else I would use one first and see if you like it (the 2nd grade will need readers from LLATL). Sometimes having a set of curricula you got cheap and at first looks like a "WOW I am covered" turns out to be a "ugh! No Way am I using these" type of thing.

SkateLeft Posted September 17, 2012 Share Posted September 17, 2012 I would contact them and ask them what you'd need. I own an old copy of the Blue version, which was their learning to read program. The older versions are very different from the new ones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
