Re: Using Singapore Math-help!

Maybe I will just work on really practicing what we have learned so far...adding, subtraction, and some multiplication of 2's and 3's...in April we have a large homeschool convention here in Cincinnati and I plan to purchase ...

I am not sure how to be really checking comprehension when my child is beginning to read more independently.
