I currently have the primer and readers one, three,
four, and five. I have been debating whether to go
ahead and digitize number three, or to get number two
first and do them in order.

Number three consists of extended stories, as opposed
to the isolated sentences of the primer and reader
number one. I haven't seen number two yet, so I can't
comment on it.

If no one is already planning to do reader number
THREE I can go ahead and get that one digitized and on
my web page.
