How does this curriculum work? Is this reading text and workbook pages to do? How about teacher additions/answer keys?
User on Mar 13, 2017
BEST ANSWER: This curriculum is condensed, concentrated material with questions, review and a test. My daughter loves the series because it is efficient and she is able to work independently and at her own speed. The answer keys are all in the teacher book. I check all of her work and make assignments accordingly. We also have used Starline world history and biology for high school and really like them.
I would like to purchase individual Starline Press booklets, is this possible?
A shopper on Jun 2, 2016
BEST ANSWER: Not from us, unfortunately. We only sell the Starline curriculum as sets.
