Posted By: DorothyS Iowa Acceleration Scale Manual - 04/27/09 06:39 PM
Today I received my copy of the Iowa Aceleration Scale Manual I ordered from Barnes and Noble. I guess I should have done my research better because in order to use the manual fully you need to have forms to go with it. I did a little bit of research on the internet and there seems to be a few places where I can order 10 sets of forms. Does anyone know where I can just order 1 set? The 10 sets are kind of pricey. Thanks!

I have 10 forms...and we're homeschooling now, so I don't need any of them! wink Will sell them one at a time for cheap + postage...just send me a PM!

I'm sending a few of these out in the morning, but I still have several left. I'm sending them out for $9, which is my actual cost plus postage (they have to go in a large envelope). Just PM me your address if you want one, and I'll PM you back with my paypal address. So happy that there's a aftermarket for these unneeded Forms here - when I had to buy them, I was wishing I knew 9 other people who needed them, and I guess now I might! smile

Hi, I sent you a PM asking if you had any more forms left. I would really like one set. Thanks!

i also wish that they would include a blank in their manual...but i did the old trick: copy the included samples. then white out the sample child's info. then make my own blank copies. then fill out one myself giving ranges to indicate possible answers that i just didn't know. i got a optimistic score and a pesimistic score and they were both in the good or excellent range.

So, you just bought the manual and then copied the samples? If that works, I could just do that. Thanks!

I considered making an offer to the school: I would buy the manual and the 10 forms, using only one form for DS, then donate everything to the school, if they would agree to abide by its recommendation. Sadly, the acceleration door was slammed in our faces before I even got to mention it.

I just wanted to say I think it is pretty lousy you have to buy this for the school. Mine provided it for both kids and I doubt it is THAT expensive for them to buy.
