mo2 Posted February 27, 2013 Share Posted February 27, 2013 Do I need the TM for each grade level, or do they basically say the same thing? Can I get by with just one print and one cursive TM? I have the old edition of the K TM. Is there any reason why i should update to the newer edition? Thank you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swellmomma Posted February 27, 2013 Share Posted February 27, 2013 If you intend to simply use it as a workbook program no you to not need it, if you plan on using it the full multisensory program than yes you do. It all depends on your method of usage of the the program. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mo2 Posted February 27, 2013 Author Share Posted February 27, 2013 I have the Kindergarten TM. Is there much difference between the K, 1st, and 2nd grade TMs? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SonshineLearner Posted February 27, 2013 Share Posted February 27, 2013 I would say to get the next guide when you choose to do cursive :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

swellmomma Posted February 27, 2013 Share Posted February 27, 2013 Okay K TM and grade 1 Tm are similar, they use different cd's so the actions etc to them is different, but the pages on remediation issues are the same. The grade 2 TM has further information for the sentence pages, like on the page of copying about Rembrandt further info about him to teach with, info on teaching punctuation, homonyms, thank you letter formation etc. The K TM is suitable if all you want is the basic pages and to use the workbooks as is. If you want the actions for teh songs, or the additional language arts instruction that grade 2 book starts with than the additional TMs are helpful. I have not pulled out my cursive TMs to compare (I have the full series because I took the training) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mamamindy Posted February 27, 2013 Share Posted February 27, 2013 In my opinion, no you do not need them all. I have the K and 1st, but really only needed the K - they were redundant. I did not buy it for level 2, but I did for the cursive (level 3). FWIW I do use some of the multi-sensory for DD2, but not for DD1. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
