Need opinions on Key Curriculum Key to... series

Submitted by an LD OnLine user on

Hi,
Can anyone tell me about the Key series from Key Curriculum Press (Key to Fractions, Decimals, Percents, Algebra)?

I have a 16 yr. old son (LD - NLD) with gaps in his learning in the above areas and would like a program he can go through on his own, with some help from parents/tutor as needed. This is to prepare him for a senior h.s. math course that he is only marginally ready for but determined to take. (Vows to improve his work habits etc.)

Some questions, if you know of it/have used it:
1. Do the booklets contain placement tests/midpoint tests and end tests. (It is possible he will only need the 2nd half of the first 3 books.)
2) The company has a Key Tracker subscription with online tests and supplemental lessons that looks good - has anyone used this? (I am not sure if it is available to single users.)

3) Is it a series a kid could do independently with some supplementary tutoring and possibly an incentive plan for effort?

4) What are your overall impressions of it?

Thanks.
P.S. I will also post on the parent forum, but am hoping for some teacher input..
