TW Pkg 1 (Vols1-6) VS. TW Pkg 3 (Vols1-6 + Math,Phonics&Lang. Lessons)

[oohmama]

Anybody who has all the TW lessons? I'm interested in using the product on my baby, and decided to get her the pkg., but w/c one? Are ALL the contents on Math & Phonics DVDs incorporated/overlapped on Vols1-6 DVDs or is it just SOME of the contents. Cause if its ALL found on Vols1-6 then i would just buy the 6DVD Pkg. & use the extra money saved to purchase the TW overview Course.(With the Multiple Lang DVD i can do away w/ or w/o it since i can download slideshows w/ foreign lang. on LR). Your experience/insights on this would really help me a lot on deciding w/c pkg. to get.

By the way here are the notes under the 3 dvds on the TW online store, mentioned above:

Note: Some of the information in this Math Training DVD and the TweedleWink Lessons on DVDs overlap. Math Lessons one through four are on the TweedleWink Lessons DVD Volume 1, Lessons five through eight are on the TweedleWink Lessons DVD Volume 2, etc. But until all 12 TweedleWink Lessons on DVDs are completed, this is the only source for the complete Math lessons set
Note: Some of the information in this Phonics Lessons DVD and the TweedleWink Lessons on DVDs overlap. But until all 12 TweedleWink Lessons on DVDs are completed, this is the only source for the complete Phonics Lessons flashcards set.
Note: Unlike the TweedleWink Phonics Lessons on DVD and TweedleWink Math Lessons on DVD sets, the information in this TweedleWink Multiple Languages Lessons on DVD does not overlap with any lessons in the TweedleWink Lessons on DVDs. These language lessons were created independently of the TweedleWink Lessons series. Although some of the concepts are shown on both videos -- such as colors, shapes and number quantities -- the visual picture images are completely different.

I only bought vols 1-6 because when I spoke with the company they told me they were hoping to get the rest of the videos out by the end of the year.  I've had them for a couple of months now and I am working through them a bit slower than I anticipated.  My son loves them and will even request certain lessons again and again.  :-) 

Anyhow, I thought I would work through volume 6 and then see if the company came out with any more.  If they didn't then I might buy those extra DVDs.  Or I might just keep recycling the DVDs from the beginning again.  If you take the Tweedlewink overview course you'll see that they recommend that - I think every 48 weeks because your child will get a deeper understanding each time. 

IF anything I highly recommend the course.  I took that one plus the WINK overview (because I'm a school teacher and want to add this in my classroom).  I LOVED them both.  It really gives you an understanding of how and why they did the things that they did on the DVD.  I think if I hadn't taken the course I might not have had the appreciation I have of  it now.  From a first glance, I felt the DVDs were very simplistic and that I could do a better job with flashcards on LR.  However, I just don't have the time to find all those pictures and it's organized so well.   My son's vocabulary has just taken off.  He says words like "Science" "Perfect Pitch" "Phonics".  I also hear him using vocabulary words in his day to day playing.  Yesterday he came up to me and hugged me and said, "You are Special."  Then he said "Tweedlewinks Mama".  :-)

Let me know if you have any questions.  But My recommendation is make the course a priority and then order the amount of videos you can at a time.  Add to the videos as you can afford them.  The nice thing is that as you earn points here on Brillkids you'll get another coupon for the company so I think you can use a new coupon each time you order.

Thanks a million

THanks for sharing

I have all of the DVDs. It's true that the phonics and math cover the same things that are in the DVD lessons, but all the DVDs are not out yet. And I guess it is nice to show them individually sometimes too.

Thanks a lot jaluitgirl & nhockaday..karma to both of you...
I think I'll get the Vols 1-6 Pkg & the TW Overview Course,w/c i think is more useful/helpful for me n baby as of now.We'll just get the Math,Phonics & Lang. in the future when budget allows.
BTW, do I get a 15% discount on both Pkg & Course if I buy both one time or do I need another 1,000 pts to get a 15% on the Course?
This was on their online store:
Currently this course cannot be combined with other purchases, and must be ordered separately. Click the link above for more information, or the button below to begin registration.

I was able to use my 15% coupon for everything at one time including the Wink Course.  But I did email them first to make sure it was ok - so you might email them too.  I found their customer service excellent and they are very helpful to answer questions. 

[oohmama]

thanks for the tip jaluitgirl... will do that...

[nhockaday]

That's right, Pamela and Wennie always give personal responses. They are very helpful.

Hi, everybody.

Wow. Thanks for all of your great input and comments! I don't know if I could have said it much better myself. 

Oohmama noted that the online courses cannot be combined with other purchases. This is only applies to ordering online courses, because we have a separate process for the training. Which means you need to get the course one at a time. We're certainly not trying to limit anybody! Unfortunately it's just a limitation of our online system.

Enrollment for online courses must begin on the online training section of our web site, then you get directed to the checkout page, then you get redirected back to the online course section.

Physical and digital products within our online store can complete the process there, and you will be shown a custom temporary digital download page to get your digital products and any other associated user guides.

We always recommend that you consider the TweedleWink Overview Course to get the best benefit from understanding and using the TweedleWink program DVDs. The course contains four training modules and TWELVE bonus video clips of Pamela explaining the theory and process.

So it would take two checkouts processes to get physical products (DVDs) and an online course -- one process through the online store for the DVDs, and the second process from the training section of our web site to enroll in the course.

You can order whatever you want. If you use your BK points to order physical products, we will be happy to create a custom coupon code for you to use towards the Wink course for the same BK discount. Contact us after your physical order is complete and request our coupon code for the Wink or TweedleWink course (since the BK coupon code will have been used up), and we will gladly send it to you.

I hope that helps understand the process. Sorry that it may seem cumbersome. Perhaps in the future we may try to better integrate them.

Thanks again, and lots of love to you all!

nhockaday,

Knowing what you know now, which package would you get?

Thanks!

[nhockaday]

if I was tight on money I would just buy 1-6.

[Joha]

Thank you! That is exactly what I needed to know

Hi nhockaday

I'm thinking of buying TW 6 DVD or 9 DVD package. I saw that you said you have all 9 DVDs of Tweedle Wink, and I wonder if you could share a few things please.

Are all 72 phonics taught in the DVD phonics please?

Does the math DVD follow Doman's method please?

How would you teach math to your baby please, do you use both LM and TW?

What is your experience with the DVD languages please? Do they have good collection of words? many words there? any phrases or sentences?

Thanks

Kathy
