This 2-in-1 Teacher’s Manual covers two levels: Days Go By and More Days Go By. Includes detailed instructions for teaching each level, showing reduced student pages of the corresponding workbooks (007151 and 007152) and student readers (001952 and 005107) with answers filled in.
Students develop necessary skills for
reading as they incrementally learn the 44 basic sounds and their symbols,
which make up 85% of the English language. This process of decoding lays a
solid reading foundation, allowing students to approach any new word through
the sound system. All books encourage Christian values and are illustrated with
cute, black-and-white, farm-inspired drawings. Learning Through Sounds
Workbooks 1 and 2provide phonics instruction along with
the required teacher manual—for thorough implementation of daily lessons,
including games and activities. (The Learning Through SoundsPractice
Workbook is perfect for students who’ve finished workbooks 1 and 2 and need
additional practice, or as review when bridging into 2nd grade). The
Helping Yourself Workbook can be used alongside Learning
Through Sounds Workbook 1 and provides activity pages (cut-and-paste type)
for each letter of the alphabet. Each reader is hardcover and has a correlating
workbook (2 pages of exercises per story) and teacher manual, done in the
following sequence: Before We Read, First Steps, Days
Go By, and More Days Go By. Teacher manuals show copies
of textbook and workbook pages with answers filled in and contain detailed
instructions for teaching.

Why did you choose this?

It was recommended by my homeschool evaluator. My daughter is in 1st grade and is ready at this level, by the time the school year is over she will be reading at a third grade level.

This program was recommended to me by another homeschooler. I asked if she bought them and she said that if you use the workbooks it's a helpful tool. If you only buy the readers she didn't think…

Love the curriculum!

Does this go with the revised workbooks? It looks like the TM I have, but it is missing about 1/3 of the pages of the workbooks.
These do go together. Each page of the teacher guide has 2 to 3 pages of the workbook in reduced size to fit, along with teaching suggestions and supplemetal exercises. Both workbooks are contained in the one teacher's guide with the answers filled in.

Is the teachers manual necessary, or can I just use the Pathways readers and workbooks without it?
A L
I'd say that it's not necessary, but it's helpful. I did the first reader without it and we got through it just fine there were a few activities we had to skip because I couldn't figure out what the directions were but it really didn't take away from her overall learning experience. However for the second and third readers (Days Go By, More Days Go By) I did purchase the teachers manual (it's one manual for both) and I'd say it is easier on me especially now that I have a preschooler and a toddler underfoot during our lessons :)

Does this include the workbooks?

No this does not include the workbook. It includes the answers for two separate workbooks however.
