:^(... I bought this book with intentions of working with my friend's 5 year old during the summer months. I didn't know this workbook is to be used only with the teacher's manual. It is literally a workbook only. The instructions are in the $70 teacher's manual, the child's workbook was less than $8.
I taught this program to my daughter when she was in kindergarten. My son, who is two years younger, sat in. They both really enjoyed it. The stories are cute. The vocabulary cards are colorful and sturdy. I'm reusing it now with my kindergartener and everything still looks brand new. If you have a child who struggles to learn new words, this is a great program. For the average kid, I don't think it is necessary or worth the time and expense because most of the words would be learned without using it. My current kindergartener is very bright. I'm using it with her only because 1) I have it and 2) I know she'll enjoy it. For her, I have condensed it to once a week instead of 3 times a week. I wouldn't suggest this with a child who struggles.You absolutely need the teacher guide. You cannot use this program without it. It is completely different from the other Wordly Wise books except Grade 1, but that is what makes it work for kids this young. It is fun and engaging and does not require reading.
I bought the Kindergarten WW3000 book expecting to love it as I have used this book when working with with older students (gr 5-8). There is no mention of the fact that this particular book is unusable without the teacher's guide, which costs $60. We returned it.
I ended up giving this away. I have an older edition Book 2 which is geared toward a 4th or 5th grader. I ordered this thinking it would be fine for a first grader. However it is truly geared toward a kindergartner (as advertised) and definitely needs the teachers book to go with. Just be careful to pay attention to what version you buy. I have been very pleased with Book 2 of version one.
Very disappointed to find that in order to use this book you must buy the $60 book with the stories in it. If it says that in the listing, it sure isn't anywhere that is obvious. I feel foolish for not reading the comments.Not thrilled about going through the process of returning it.
I love what these books offer---except they are an old edition and teacher manuals are no longer available. I am creating stories to go with the vocabulary lists and accompanying pictures. Not a huge deal but I'm probably not doing as well as the teacher manual would suggest. I'm also making it up as I go, for the other pages as well, due to not knowing exactly what is needed from the student on the follow-up pages.The curriculum itself however, I will keep using, as it is brightly colored and attractive and makes vocabulary fun for kids! It follows a format of three pictures with a vocabulary list, and what I would assume, would be a story in the teacher's manual to put that list into every day language. This is followed up with smaller pictures of the story just read and the student cutting and pasting them in order. Following this are additional worksheet pages, such as drawing a picture with some of the vocabulary words just learned or circling one of two choices to show the correct illustration for the vocabulary word dictated.These are keepers for our home school curriculum, I just will make sure that I order the current edition that is out, next year, so I can get the teacher manual as well and teach the lessons to their full potential.
I just received my copy today. I am so disappointed to find out that it is absolutely useless without the $65 teacher key. I guess I should have read the reviews better. What a shame!
I bought this book for my son after a friend recommended it after using the Wordly Wise program for homeschooling her kids. He and I were going to work on this together this summer before he starts Kindergarten in the fall. I wish I would have taken the rest of the reviews seriously, because this book is pretty much useless without the teacher resource book, which at roughly $60 makes a very expensive summer workbook. We're doing the few pages we can without using the book, but I'm really disappointed.
