A word about the 1999 revision of the Sequence: The Sequence was originally published in 1988, and revised in 1999. The revision added 7th and 8th grade and more fully elaborated the Kindergarten curriculum, leading to a small redistribution of topics across Kindergarten and First Grade and some rearrangement also in the upper elementary grades.
