Two years ago, I created Ready for Rally workbooks to prepare students for LMTA’s state theory exams. Even though the workbooks are designed for exams in Louisiana, they can easily be used as a theory workbook with students elsewhere. I’m thrilled with the success of the workbooks in just one year and wanted share a couple of updates that I’m working on.
- New Binding. I’ve noticed the comb binding that is currently used to bind the workbooks comes apart in some students’ bags. As new workbooks are printed, I’ll transition to using coil binding that should be less problematic. Because the workbooks are printed in large quantities, you may not receive the coil binding with your next order. Please know you’ll see it in the future.
- Terms, Forms, and History. I will add the terms, forms, and history required of each level to the workbooks. I initially left this information out as I feared the workbooks would be too big, but I think it’s needed.
- Staff Paper. A few sheets of staff paper will be added to the back of the workbook so that you can drill problem areas with students.
- Answer Keys. I’m also working on making answer keys for the workbooks. I will not have them printed (unless there is a enough request to do so), but they will be available to purchase as a digital download online. Once the answer key is purchased on the website, a link to download the file will be sent to your email. I’ve completed answer keys for Prep A and B. They are available to purchase here.
Please feel free to send any feedback if you’ve been using the workbooks!
