Hi,

We're currently using TOG Y1 Classic w/ Writing Aids. We are on Week 24 and I have decided to have my daughter do an Interview.

I gave her the Writing Aids book to read about "Interview Reports" and she mentioned to me that it is written to the teacher NOT the student.

My question is this: Do moms of multiple students give this book to the student to read on their own OR do they actually teach each lesson to each level? (I'm referring to D and R level students...)

Thanks!
Amy

Hi Amy,
Yes, the book is written to the teacher; you'll want to print up the appropriate "talking points" from the disc for the correct student information.

The students should read it on their own, and if it's a new concept, you should review it with them before they begin writing. Here's how I do it:

Monday: student reads Talking Points
Tuesday: mom reviews if necessary to make sure student understands
Wednesday: prewriting
Thursday: rough draft
Friday: final copy

Blessings,

WOW, Dana!!

Thanks!! I didn't realize ALL that was on the Writing Aids disk...I just assumed it was the grading rubrics and writing organizers. I guess I should have looked a little harder before asking...

I just popped the disk in the computer and almost fell out of my chair. I am a happy mom!! I am SO excited!! What an AWESOME product!!
