WWE, do I need both the Text

[BlessedMom]

and the Workbook? Does the workbook include the information covered in the text?

 

I definitely want the "workbook", but I am not sure if I also need the text, are both necessary to teach WWE to its full potential.

 

I was planning to order both, but some where along the way, reading WWE posts here on the WTM board, I feel somewhat confused about whether both are really necessary.

 

Thanks in advance.

You're right that this was discussed not to long ago. Here's the basic deal.

If you want to have the basic overview for the whole 12 years you may like the text that covers the first 4 years, because it does have a part in the beginning about why most writing programs fail and then gives they basics of the entire WWE plan. Most of the book is the first 4 years though. It will go over the basics of each year and then give you a few example weeks and then they follow that up with explaining how to follow that weeks example and what things to look for in your own narration and copywork passages.

 

The workbook has everything you need to teach Year 1 only. The front of it is the script for the teacher to follow with the overview of what your doing that week and then gives you the copywork passages and narration passages to read along with some questions to help you child learn how to narrate back which is done orally then they tell you what to ask and then write down your child's response to that question. The second part of the workbook is the student pages. If you have more than 1 student doing year 1 at the same time you can then buy the additional student pages separately.

 

So If you want it all laid out with all the narration passages and copywork figured out for you then buy the workbook.

 

I hope this all makes sense.
