Singapore math has a good reputation- but I am not sure about how much it costs. The other program I like is the Landmark Arithmetic Program, published by the Landmark School in Mass. (www.landmarkschool.org) It is reaonably inexpensive and very well put together. Sue Jones has some links to math stuff on her site also(www.resourceroom.net)

Hi. I teach 2-4th grade at an non-public school for children with specific learning disabilities. Last year our school purchased the Touch Math program. My students loved it and were very successful. Many parents continue to be amazed at the fact their child is understanding and succeeding in math.

is excellent. Tends to work quickly, even with children who have been unable to learn math facts any other way. The workbooks are reproducible, so it doesn’t cost much. A basic tutoring kit for addition is about $44, and you would want to add the subtraction cards to that. There is a similar cost for the multiplication kit. Website is http://www.citycreek.com

I lent my kits to the sped teacher at our school, and the approach was so effective she ordered it for all of her kids this year.

Singapore is a complete math curriculum that works well for a lot of children and is not too expensive. You would want to make up some manipulatives to supplement the pictures.

… be ready to supplement with more practice too, and more examples, simply because you’ll need to break things down a bit more.
