Sarah Chaney of the Waggoner School in Winters, California, tells us
that a teacher in her program is using both Real Basics and Taking Turns
(U. Of Michigan Press) together with her beginner class. "The books
work hand in hand." They cover the same material very
differently, but they complement each other. If a student doesn't get
something in one book, the other book works for them. Both the teacher
and the class love the combination.
