Materials needed to teach the RightStart program are packaged in kits. Starter Kits have all the required manuals and manipulatives needed at each starting point. The difference between Starter Kit Classic and Starter Kit Standard is the AL Abacus included in the kit. The Starter Kit Classic includes the AL Abacus Classic and the Starter Kit Standard includes the AL Abacus Standard. It becomes a personal preference which AL Abacus will work best for your family.
The Add-On Kits are for those who have been teaching the RightStart program and are ready for the next level. Each Add-On Kit provides the Lessons and Worksheets and needed manipulatives. Again, recommended items are available.
Some families prefer to purchase the Manipulative Kit, then add the needed manuals. This provides all the manipulatives required for all levels. It also works well if two levels are being taught.
