lacell Posted December 14, 2015 Share Posted December 14, 2015 We are doing a separate, thorough phonincs and language arts program. I want to purchase Rod and Staff's Grade 1 Bible Nurture Readers. I know that they are largely sight word based, which is not a problem for me. I'm a fan of controlled readers. I like for my child to know how to read/spell every word in a reader before approaching the text. Do the readers list every single new word in the story at the end of the story, so that I can cover them during spelling dictation before having the child read the story? Does the Teacher's Manual do that? I'm trying to avoid the TM if I don't need it because we are not purchasing any other component of the program except the readers. Thanks ahead of time to anyone who can help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lacell Posted December 14, 2015 Author Share Posted December 14, 2015 Thank you. I know I'm not going to do the workbook. Just want to use it as readers. Does the Teacher's Manual show all the new words in each reader? Does the reader already do that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you want only the readers, Pathway readers might be better. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lacell Posted December 14, 2015 Author Share Posted December 14, 2015 I read the online samples. The only reason I'm wanting to buy the readers is that I like the content. Pathways is sweet but not quite what I'm looking for... I guess I'll just buy the first reader without the guide and see how it goes. If I need it, I can always buy the TM. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
