162 pages; this spiral-bound manual supplements

blank "diagramming" worksheets, PLUS "direct-instruction" student/teacher
dialogue for teaching it.

Level II Teacher's Edition or those who simply want to learn this fascinating
and effective approach to teaching correct sentence structure.

 |
This dictionary (our "authority" dictionary
for pronunciation) is highly useful because its "point and click" capabilities
(unlike conventional dictionaries with tiny print and no spacing between each entry's
offerings) turn each entry into a chart form for ease of use and understanding
for the student. Creating these charts,
for student independence in the learning process, follows our methodologies for
our entire program; this is a very hi-tech item. Your student will love it by comparison.
|
For teacher use in learning to "mark"
additional words for the spelling list; for student use (Gr. 2-up) to make sense
of a dictionary, simplify and clarify what dictionaries are for.
100,000 words pronounced so great for ESL &
others.
