Guest guest Posted February 27, 2002 Report Share Posted February 27, 2002 SRA/Distar materials can be found at SRA4kids.com I think they are published by McGraw-Hill now. As a professional, I have used the SRA in the past with kids with a variety of needs-although I found it a little boring-they all really love it and show great progress in it. These are the kids that would come in having made no progress in reading/language goals for 2 and 3 years! Another program worth checking out is the Distar Language program-it is very concrete-following directions, sentence structure, basic language skills-many of these may already be covered in your programming though. I have never used the Distar Math-and it may be just as good as the SRA reading-but I would highly recommend looking into the SAXON Math program. It is hands on-very concrete and uses a lot of repetition. It is worksheet based though-but never an entire page devoted to one type of problem-very very cool. Typical math problems teach a skill for a chapter and there is no maintenance/review-Saxon has a totally different approach than this. It is very similar to the SRA programming-and was very effective with my students. You can find info on Saxon at www2.saxonpublishers.com OR homeschoolproducts.com Good Luck and I hope this helps! __________________________________________________ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
