just.me Posted October 16, 2012 Share Posted October 16, 2012 I own the book but am wondering if it might be worth it to buy the PDF version. My kids detest doing their lessons using the book but will do them if I type up their lesson on the iPad. I just make a PDF with the words on one page and the story on another page. They love this but I don't want to do this for each and every lesson! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Syllieann Posted October 16, 2012 Share Posted October 16, 2012 I had a similar thought in mind because I know my ds would freak out if he saw all the other text on the pages in addition to what he was supposed to read. I downloaded the sample of the ebook and I was not able to c&p into word, which means I would have to go through and type everything out-not my cuppa tea. It seems it would be just as easy to type it out from the book. The only benefit I can see with the ebook is you could zoom in so they are only looking at their words but then you would have to scroll a little and the page will move when you touch it to cover up the words.

just.me Posted October 16, 2012 Author Share Posted October 16, 2012 There goes that plan...I wanted to C&P the student text. I really wish there was a student workbook to go along with OPGTTR. It would make getting it done so much easier. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Syllieann Posted October 16, 2012 Share Posted October 16, 2012 I agree, it's annoying enough that I'm going to drop another $100 on AAR2 instead of using OPGTR. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
just.me Posted October 16, 2012 Author Share Posted October 16, 2012 I really want to try AAR. AAS is a big hit with my 1st grader and I'm wondering if my K-er and my 1st grader would love AAR just as much. My K-er isn't catching on to blending yet so I'd even consider Pre-level 1.

Syllieann Posted October 16, 2012 Share Posted October 16, 2012 We really like AAR1. I'm using it with an oldish 3 yo that currently has no interest in writing. The only reason I was looking at other things is because he went through it pretty fast and I thought I could get away with something less expensive with less built in review but it turns out there just isn't anything that will meet our needs as well without me putting in mega hours in tweaking. I hope they hurry on the other levels though. I fear I will be tweaking opgtr after aar2. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
just.me Posted October 16, 2012 Author Share Posted October 16, 2012 (edited) I just looked at the samples and they look fun! Edited October 17, 2012 by just.me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ErinE Posted October 16, 2012 Share Posted October 16, 2012 I originally owned the book and sold it after purchasing the PDF. I use the book as reference on my iPad. For the lesson, I write out the rule and words on a white board. Best thing I've done to help dd read. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kdownie Posted October 17, 2012 Share Posted October 17, 2012 I own the book and use it just for the stories (covering up the lines DD isn't reading). I write the words in the lesson on the white board. It works great for her. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
