I have searched the board for information about Lial's Algebra, and I'm having a hard time remembering who said what and in which thread. I apologize in advance for the repeat questions. I have ordered Lial's Introductory Algebra (7th edition). What else would you suggest that I get (DVT's, solutions manual, etc.) to help us successfully finish the course? Thank you, Polly

OPGTR didn't work here either. I recommend: Leap Frog videos (Letter Factory AND Word Factory) Ruth Beechick's A Home Start in Reading These are inexpensive and may be at the local library. My own experience has been that you can't force a child to learn to read. I have four children and have found out the hard way that sometimes their brains just aren't ready. My now 6 year old knows her letter sounds but can't blend. It can be frustrating. Good luck to your sister and nephew! Polly
