Re: HOD for High School

I was thinking of using that for pre-algebra and for high school, but I am weighing it against systematic math and others. Have you got any suggestions? Also what about geo...

You were talking to me about Essential Math Skills. Is that the one with Rick Fisher and is it a full curriculum?

Re: reading level assessment

Thank you ladies for your input. I went to that website and tested my two sons , grades 4 and 6. They both tested 6.9. I don't know if it's right. They say that the test is for grades 1 to 6. I'm still going to try to find some other websites to compare the results.
