What this comparison establishes
We checked the linked publisher pages on September 10, 2026. The table summarizes published features, not measured learner outcomes. We have not run these programs with students, completed their trials or evaluated accessibility with assistive technology. No program is rated “best.”
Published features and what to inspect
These are starting points for a like-for-like comparison, not equivalent lessons or a recommendation to buy.
| Program | Publisher-documented information | Question for your own inspection |
|---|---|---|
| Teaching Textbooks | The publisher describes video explanations, problem solutions and immediate grading in its digital courses. Its trial FAQ says an account and app are needed, with no billing information required for the trial. | Inspect one exact level. Can the learner use its response method, explanations and feedback? |
| Math-U-See | The publisher describes integrated physical manipulatives and provides a separate placement tool. | Inspect the materials for the selected level and ask how the instructor uses them in a lesson. |
| RightStart Mathematics | The publisher offers sample lessons and contents organized by edition and level, plus separate tutoring and activity samples. | Open the relevant edition and level. Check the adult instructions, materials and response demands. |

Check the same task and the complete cost
Choose a comparable mathematical skill and record the exact sample inspected. Before purchasing, check the required materials, license duration, devices, shipping, renewal terms and return policy on the current offer. This comparison does not supply a normalized price because different levels and bundles are not interchangeable.
- Record the edition, level and sample date.
- Separate features you observed from publisher claims.
- Note what the available sample did not let you test.
- Check the actual offer before entering payment details.
Keep ADHD support questions separate
A program’s advertised features do not establish ADHD-specific effectiveness. The linked instructional guide explains the scope of the IES and CDC sources and provides a worksheet for recording your comparison.

Official checks before you act
Because homeschool law, special education services, and funding rules vary, verify requirements with your state education department, local district, official ESA or scholarship program, and qualified providers. Keep screenshots or PDFs of official guidance with your records.
Frequently asked questions
Which of these is best for a child with ADHD?
This publisher-source comparison does not establish that. The appropriate instruction and access supports depend on the learner; actual sample inspection and qualified input are separate steps.
Have these programs been tested with students by SEH?
No. This page reports publisher-documented information and identifies what has not been tested.
