![]() Some parents and students do prefer a spiral method. I have used more or fewer of the lesson and review pages depending on how much practice my son needed for a lesson. ![]() I have divided up worksheets into parts to be completed at different times. I love the way this program teaches to mastery and is easy to modify for students based on need. The wonderful thing about this curriculum is it is easily tailored to your child’s learning style. ![]() My son needs me teaching him one on one for him to really grasp the concept. I understand how this might work with some students and circumstances. Some older students have reported watching the DVD lesson with parents or by themselves to learn the material.
