Well, I started with the transition lessons yesterday. (I don't have the book yet, but looked at the Table of Contents and took a guess at what the 1st lesson would include...I combined some of the early Book B lessons.) Both students enjoyed the lesson, and I was amazed at how much they needed it. I had been a bit reluctant to do such very basic work with 3rd graders, but I'm glad I did.

I started the lesson by 'flashing' the 'higher' dot cards (the cards w/ 7, 8, 9, or 10 dots) and they laughed and said of course they couldn't tell me those quantities. Well, by the end of the lesson they could! With no counting! It was a great beginning, especially for the one student whose skills are particularly low. I'll see them again tomorrow, and I think we're all looking forward to it.

I will keep you up to date. I've used your products a LOT, but have never started completely over with a student and am very interested to see how it will go.

Thanks for your recommendation. This forum is a valuable service, and your products are fantastic!
