Growing with Grammar, Is it comsumable? Must I buy one for each child or are you allowed to copy it? nt - Lori in IN 3:44 Jan 22 (1)

The workbook is consumable. I'm not sure if you can copy it, but it's thick and there's printing on both sides of the page. I'd think that with the price for an additional one being only $13.99, that it's probably a better deal to buy another one. nt - DawnUK 4:23 Jan 22 (0)
