Re: Using Singapore Math-help!
Thanks for the input! I am going to look at the timed tests you suggested. 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 ...

Hi friends, I have reviewed the book and LOVE it! I am wondering though, does it cover comprehension? I am not sure how to be really checking comprehension when my child is beginning to read more independently.
