Synopsis

Why These Forms Need the Teach Me Language ManualBefore using the Companion Exercise Forms for Teach Me Language, it is very important to read and understand the "How To" and "Why" sections in the Teach Me Language manual.

Without understanding how to introduce the various exercises, the child can become frustrated and "turn off" learning. The instructions which accompany each exercise in the Teach Me Language manual are also important to help you decide if the child is ready for the exercise.Why We Wrote the Companion Exercise Forms for Teach Me LanguageThe Companion Exercise Forms for Teach Me Language makes the Teach Me Language manual more convenient to use because it provides all the manual's exercise forms in a larger, blank format. To help explain how the exercises in Teach Me Language are done, the book includes facsimiles of drill sheets, filled out with examples of how and who the exercises are done. The Companion Exercise Forms for Teach Me Language is a collection of the exercise sheets found the the Teach Me Language manual without the examples written on the forms. The exercise forms in this supplement are blank and enlarged for ease of use.Use of the Exercise SheetsThe exercise forms in this supplement are designed to be photocopied and used in the child's program. The ability to make several copies is important because the exercises need to be done several times, gradually increasing the level of ability as the child learns the material.
