There's where the "summer advantage" helps. If you read it very carefully in the summer, take notes carefully in the margins, highlight, etcetera- it isn't so hard to just review during the school year. But it is so worth it! Sent from my BlackBerry Smartphone provided by Alltel

Each lessons you teach has about 10 pages of reading to get all of the thinking, ideas, philosophy, research, etc. There so much stuff in each lesson, I found it impossible to cover in one writing period. After you get the hang of it, she does have good ideas, and sound overall philosphy....just a very long indepth program. If you are looking for quick lessons, with basic ideas to use...this isn't it...this is a very involved commitment.
