How to use R & S English 3

[John'smom]

We are using level 2 here this year with no teacher's manual. I have the teacher's manual and student text here for level 3. I understand that I should definitely use the oral review questions from the teacher's manual for level 3. Now do you use the part where it says "Class" and teach that, plus read aloud what's in the student book and do 2/3 of that orally and 1/3 written? The other option would be to just do the oral review questions, read aloud what's in the student book and then do 2/3 of that orally and 1/3 written. It seems like from what I can tell some of the "Class" stuff is repititive of what's in the student book, but some of it is a little different too (not by a lot, but some). I know I'm probably splitting hairs here, but I want to do what's best for ds, but don't want to overkill things and take mroe time than necessary, but if it's necessary then I want to take the time. Hope that makes sense.

We don't use the "class" lesson from the teacher's manual, only the oral review questions. Then either I read or my kids read the lesson in the student book, and then do the 2/3 oral or whiteboard, 1/3 written in their notebook. I think adding the "class" portion in the TM would make the lessons too long, and is not necessary for the home setting

I do not usually us the "class" section. However if I find one of my boys having a difficult time with a concept I will look there for suggestions. Hope that helps.
