Ester Posted July 27, 2008 Share Posted July 27, 2008 After watching the first lesson, I felt that it's clear enough. Do I really need the TWSS? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DB in NJ Posted July 27, 2008 Share Posted July 27, 2008 Absolutely not. I went with the advice that no matter what, I NEEDED to get TWSS too. That I wouldn't fully understand the program without it. Phooey. Think about it: the kids who are sitting in the classroom during the actual SWI course are there for four days straight, without their parents. Andrew Pudewa is teaching them, and he knows what he's doing. So yes, you can definitely use SWI without TWSS. Having said that, there were some helpful parts of TWSS that speak directly to the teacher not so much about the actual teaching of writing skills, but about expectations, etc. That one point, in particular, was appreciated by me. Honestly, though, I can't remember anything else from TWSS. FWIW, I sat through SWI with my ds, and we worked through it together. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ester Posted July 27, 2008 Author Share Posted July 27, 2008 And you know what, after watching the SWI, the CW Aesop starts becoming crystal clear to me now.:smilielol5: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
