I am ALMOST ready to invest in Level B for my ds (7 but we're calling him first-grade). We have been using Mathematical Reasoning and lots of games (we also have lots of manipulatives, but they usually end up as battlegrounds and space stations )but I think we (read: me) need more structure. I have heard that Level A wasn't necessary to start with. Does that resonate with anyone who has used this?

However, here is my dilemma: His little sister will be 4 and, unlike him, LOVES SCHOOL!! WANTS TO BE INVOLVED AND DO HER OWN THING!! I really cannot afford Level A at the same time (and I certainly don't want to put the pressure of a curriculum on her yet). But as I'm hoping she will segue into RS eventually, I'm wondering if there's a way to "share" the lower levels.

Any thoughts? In the interest of sibling peace, I was thinking of buying her own personal abacus ...

I would definitely buy her her own abacus. (Having a second one is a good idea anyway imo.) From what I've heard, you should be able to use B with both; you'll just have to expand the lessons to as many days as it takes.

I have a level B you may have for the cost of postage -- if I can find it. I think I know where it is. You'll still need the manipulatives and workbook. (You might want to consider getting the CD-ROM with all the worksheets on it and print out as needed.)

In Christ,
