bnwhitaker Posted March 30, 2013 Share Posted March 30, 2013 Did you like this book? Is it needed or could I just skip to caesar's english? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
km123175 Posted March 30, 2013 Share Posted March 30, 2013 I'm not sure this book was "worth it" for us. By my daughter enjoyed reading it together and talking about the words. Maybe I'm just not good enough at creating what to do with the book. I've heard others say Caesar's English is much better and meatier. We're not quite there yet. We'll be getting it for the fall -most likely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kbutton Posted March 31, 2013 Share Posted March 31, 2013 It generates interest, but it's not really a pre-requisite. My son likes it, but I can't say that he'll have mastered all that much in using it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Five More Minutes Posted April 1, 2013 Share Posted April 1, 2013 My daughter loved the book, but I didn't find it as valuable as the other parts if the MCT curriculum. As the pp said, it generated interest in language connections. I don't consider it an essential component of the program, and don't think it's a prerequisite to CE. You can skip it without worries!

Dana Posted April 1, 2013 Share Posted April 1, 2013 Agree with others. Think son enjoyed it, but CE is much stronger and BL can pretty easily be skipped iMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fluffybunny Posted April 1, 2013 Share Posted April 1, 2013 Don't miss it! Your child will meet 'Sub' and "Re' and all the other characters who interact and come to life. This doesn't happen in CE. By bringing them to life, the child remembers them. There's also an exercise in BL, where the child has to draw a picture of all the characters like Sub, Re, Ex, De and Spect. I love MCT because it's so original. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
