Stephanie –
These books are fabulous! They are fully integrated with the LMTA Rally syllabus, and give an excellent opportunity for my students to learn and review concepts over the course of a whole school year. The format is clean and organized, with high-quality paper and crisp printing. I especially love the review pages. I have students using every level from Prep A to Level IV, and love the way that this series keeps us organized and moving forward with theory every year.
