mom2denj Posted February 8, 2014 Share Posted February 8, 2014 I have the opportunity to purchase this used fairly cheap. I have a few questions. I have a second grader I would like to use this with. It says this is 3rd - 5 th grade level. Is this something that could easily be spread out over a couple of years? Any other advice would be great!!! Oh and my second question....Is $40 a good price used for the lesson plans and the DVD's, but not including the student handouts? Is there anything else that I would need?

Mrs Twain Posted February 8, 2014 Share Posted February 8, 2014 $40 is a good price. You can do it at any pace. I completed the SWI-A over two years with my first set of kids, though I also added in other types of assignments. I am planning to do this with my 2nd grader next year. It works fine with a younger child as long as he is a strong reader and is able to write basic sentences. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Murrayshire Posted February 8, 2014 Share Posted February 8, 2014 For $40, I would buy it to just hang on to it for a year if you decided to wait until 3rd grade! That's a great deal! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TarynB Posted February 8, 2014 Share Posted February 8, 2014 $40 is a great price! You can probably even sell it for the same or more when you're finished with it. I've seen used sets sell for twice that price online. I haven't looked in quite a while, but you used to be able to buy the student pages in pdf format on IEW's website (even if you didn't buy the DVD set new from them) for $15, so you might check into that or call them directly.

Mommee & Baba Posted February 8, 2014 Share Posted February 8, 2014 Wow that a great price!! I just purchased IEW and my total was about $450! Yes you are able to purchase the student handouts separately either the binder and the handouts for $19 or the no binder and just the PDF download of all the student handouts for $10! :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cintinative Posted February 8, 2014 Share Posted February 8, 2014 I highly recommend joining the IEW Families yahoo group once you get started. There is a lot of great help on there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
