    Hi Bernie,
    By “doing a review using the ‘Practices’ section of each lesson,” do you mean the “Methods and Procedures?” I am similarly trying to find a way to bootstrap a few kids into either Volume II or III. But if I had to do the full “Methods and Procedures” for all the lessons in Vol I., it could take a whole year! If it were just my own kids, homeschooling, I’d be ok with that, but I’m trying to devlop something I can offer to a small group in 6-8 week units. Maybe one unit could be review, but no more than that. Has anybody put together a “greatest hits” list of common gaps that I could start with, and then assess them from there? Or has anybody put together a series of videos or short readings, which could be intersperced with live demonstrations for the most critical ideas? I’m going to search other threads but thought I’d start here. Thanks!
