1st Grade Book 1 Learning Numbers with Spunky

Learning Numbers With Spunky has been written especially for the one-room school. As such, it is excellent for a family homeschooling with multiple children or for those who need their children to work very independently.

This series of books is similar in design to the Pathway Books and Climbing to Good English. It is a very straight-forward, practical approach with lots of real-life applications. Most lessons have three pages, A, B, and C. The lesson numbers appear in the barn symbol on the upper left-hand corner of each page; thus: 1A, 1B, 1C, 2A, etc. If a new skill is introduced it will nearly always appear on A. Very rarely it will appear on B, but never on C (which is extra drill).

There are 170 lessons divided between the two books for Grade 1.
