mathnmusic Posted March 8, 2013 Share Posted March 8, 2013 We purchased and are loving the Pathway readers and the workbooks that go along with them. We're running into a snafu with some workbook pages that have lists of words with no explanation or directions printed on the page. I didn't get the Teacher's manuals, so wondered if anyone who has the TM could please help me out and let me know what the directions are? For example, in the Workbook for the reader "Days Go By" (for 1st grade), on p. 11, is one of these pages with lists of words but no instructions. If it was just 1 page, I'd probably just let it go, but it comes up again on p. 31 and 53. Thank you in advance for your help! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lorisuewho Posted March 8, 2013 Share Posted March 8, 2013 I don't have the workbook right in front of me, but are you referring to the ones where the page is divided into boxes and there are like 3 or 4 words listed in each box? If you are, these pages are for you to say a word and for the student to circle the word you say. YOu can repeat the pages again later, by choosing a different word from each box and have the child cross it off or circle it in a different color.

mathnmusic Posted March 8, 2013 Author Share Posted March 8, 2013 Aha, yes that makes sense! Yes, those are exactly the pages, with 4 words in boxes, 25 boxes on the page...Thank you so much, that's just what I wanted to know! It's pages like that that make me wonder if the TM is really helpful and maybe I should get it...at least the TM has answers to the workbook questions, I'm assuming. Thank you again!

Ellie Posted March 8, 2013 Share Posted March 8, 2013 See, the Pathway materials have a definite sight-reading element to them. You're supposed to introduce new words to the children before they read their assignments. Yes, you should get the TMs. They aren't expensive, and they do have some instructions in them.
