    I plan to use Following the Plan with my 6th grade ds.  I have the TG and Student Text.  Do I need the supplemental worksheets and tests?? 

    I know it may depend on the child, but I’m curious as to how others use this program.

    Thanks in advance.

    We don’t use the worksheets or tests.  I read through the lesson with them.  I have them do some of the exercises orally with me.  Then I assign a certain number of exercises for them to do in a separate notebook.  

    Hope that helps. Smile

    We used levels 2&3 and used it like Keri.  We would either do it all aloud, or I’d assign one section for them to write out.

    Perfect.  Thank you.

    I don’t want, or need, to over do it with grammar or with this child so this is what I was hoping to hear. 

    Thanks again.

    We started that one a couple of week s ago. I decided to use the worksheets adn tests. I do the oral review, one of them reads through the book material aloud, and oral drill with them, then I schedule either odd/even questions under written work (depending on how many there are) and if they get them mostly correct, they don’t have to do the others; but if they have trouble, then they have to do the others.

    My son doesn’t need the worksheets, but I’m glad that my dd has them as she needs the extra practice.

    IN the TG, it says that the course is successful without the worksheets, so if you don’t have them, don’t worry about it; unless you determine that you have a child who needs th eextra practice.

    Thanks Rachel,  I will keep that in mind when we get started.  He’s used English for the Thoughtful Child, vol. 1 and 2, but gently and they were both spread over a 2 or 3 year period.  He enjoys Lang Arts but this will be more challenging for him so we’ll see. He may need the extra practice, but I wanted to avoid the extra work if I could.

    Thanks again.
