I'm looking at Wordly Wise 3000 Level 1 for my 1st grader next year. Rainbow Resources has a Student Book, an Answer Key, and a Teacher Pack. Do I need all of these or can you just do the student book and answer key?
I used just the student workbook for my DD in 4th and 5th grade and plan to again for 6th. A teacher book definitely isn't necessary. The exercises are very self-explanatory for either your child to read over him/herself or for you to guide him/her through it. I didn't find the answer key necessary either, it was just as easy to read/scan the sentences over and see if she got the gist of it as it would have been to consult the answer key. I can't imagine you'd need one for 1st grade. Hope that helps and saves you a few bucks! :)
I'm under the impression that K and 1st are pretty different than 2nd+. You don't need the teacher book for the 2nd grade and up books, but I think the meat of the 1st grade program is in the teacher book.
We started with the books in third grade. Took nearly a year to complete a level with the inevitable: I could not find, I did it but cannot find it, and you did not grade it. Discovered that Wordly Wise has an on-line version for approx. $100/year (unlimited levels), that is regularly on 1/2 sale through Homeschool buyer coop. On-line automatic tests, reviews, and grading, with a teacher/parent portal to monitor progress. Now, we easily do 2 levels a year.
Students learn hundreds of new words while they build reading, writing, and thinking skills. As they read in context, apply meanings in different situations, and answer comprehension questions using complete sentences, they make these words their own. Fun! Learn multiple definitions of words.
New engaging, research-based activities help students practice using words and definitions and reinforce long-term retention of words. Wordly Wise 3000 is scheduled as optional in Sonlight's Language Arts D through 300. Books 11 and 12 are not scheduled in any Sonlight Instructor's Guide.
