Hello Michelle,

From what you are writing, I would suggest that you move slightly quicker until he gets to the place values lessons in the 30's.

You can read ahead and get a sense for where the lessons are headed and the ones you think he can do well on, have him do three problems and explain how he got to the answer ( in the way kids explains things), and if he got them right move to the next section and then the next lesson if need be.

There is no need to do concepts he is grasping and can explain how he is doing it. Feel free to move more quickly...yes it does mean more work on your part because you may need to understand three lessons for one math session, and only get 9 problems out of that hard work of preparing. But it is worth it to keep him moving until he is where he should be, while not skipping import foundations, especially place value.

Please let me know if you have any more questions. You can email me directly at Carissa@alabacus.com .

Thank you for giving your child a RightStart in Math,
