Mom28kds Posted January 12, 2013 Share Posted January 12, 2013 I'm thinking of getting SWB WTM book. I'm thinking there is a "new" version. Is it worth purchasing this version? I think my library has one but is probably an older version. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edeemarie Posted January 12, 2013 Share Posted January 12, 2013 There are 3 different editions- is that what you mean? I have read both the 1st and 2nd versions, but prefer the first because it gives great instruction on how to do more on your own (instead of buying a certain curricula). I assume the main difference in the 3rd edition is that is recommends using all of the Peace Hill Press materials that were not out when the other editions were released. You can get the 1st edition pretty cheap used. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crimson Wife Posted January 12, 2013 Share Posted January 12, 2013 There were minor revisions between the 1st and the 2nd editions, but the 3rd edition has a major overhaul, particularly in the logic stage. I've read all 3 but never bothered to purchase my own copy until the 3rd edition came out. I do think it's that much better than the earlier editions. My least favorite, BTW, is the 2nd, because it's rather over-the-top in pushing PHP products. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mom28kds Posted January 12, 2013 Author Share Posted January 12, 2013 Thanks, I think my library has the 2nd edition. Looks like I'll try to find it elsewhere :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kiwik Posted January 12, 2013 Share Posted January 12, 2013 I have 3rd edition and the library has first. I prefer the 1st but then it was new the first time I read the library copy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hunter Posted January 12, 2013 Share Posted January 12, 2013 In general I prefer the 1st edition, especially the grammar stage language arts. I do like the logic level history outlining instructions in the 3rd edition, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mom28kds Posted January 12, 2013 Author Share Posted January 12, 2013 I'm concerned mostly about the grammar stage at this point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
