Learning Wrap-ups: These are hand-on aids that make
drilling in various subject areas fun and self-correcting. The student wraps a colored
string around a notched bookmark-size plastic piece with words or symbols written along
each side. The idea is to match a problem with its answer, symbol with what it represents,
etc. Students move the string from side to side, wrapping together the notches that match.
Then, when finished, he turns over the "bookmark" and sees if his string pattern
matches the pattern printed on the back for the correct answers. This has newer packaging
now than when I bought these, and this is the old packaging in tubes. There are 10
different game boards per package and the sting is included. The regular price is 7.95.
These are on sale for 4.50-S each while they last.
Unfortunately, they must go parcel post, not book rate, so I'd have to know your zip code
to give you a postage quote. Titles available are Phonics 1, Music Rhythm and Vocabulary,

States and Capitals, Antonyms, Homonyms, and Learn to Speak Espaņol (Basics). Supplies
