When you say RR is out do you mean permanently? I'm waiting for mine on backorder but I assume it's coming. Brownie

 

I had some on backorder at RR from an order a couple of months ago and they all just arrived yesterday. You could call RR and ask.

It looks like you can get it from this seller on Amazon.

From her screen name, you can figure out her URL (just add .com to the end); she's selling them for $1.50 cheaper, with free shipping on orders over $30, via her website.

 

Are these really worth getting? (I don't have them.) There is someone locally who said she was getting some, but I never followed up.

I've heard from Jenny over on the Singapore Math forum that a replacement will be coming soon, but it is not nearly as challenging as CWP. Can't imagine why.

 

I bet if they just took the word "challenging" out of the title, they'd sell better.

 

Who was it recently was itching to do something in the line of resources for homeschooling? These should be easy-peasy to put up on a website for print out!

I'm sorry - what would sell better?

 

[i don't think the CWP series is not going to be available because no one buys it, but because it comes from a Singaporean publisher -- not the Singaporemath.com people and not the original publisher, but another publisher, called EPB Pan Pacific (a Marshall Cavendish imprint), and Singapore (the country) has long since changed their curriculum, and are relying less on these type of problems.]

Sonlight may be another option That is where I bought mine when my RR order was backordered.

 

Actually when I called Sonlight to see if they still had any in stock, due to the fact RR was backordered, they told me that they are the supplier for RR. Try Sonlight.

 

Heather (who is hoping SL buys the rights to the CWP and publishes them, but that is a long shot....)

And it was selling like a house afire here, no one is going to turn away a money-maker.

I see your point but.... So was Primary Maths. Singapore decided to change their curriculum, and CWP is linked to the old one. I don't think publishing for the American market makes much sense for them, or may be in the direction they want to go.
