Step 1: Plug in your Bond Blocks USB
The Bond Blocks Counting to 10 & 20 USB contains everything you will need
Making a copy to the School Intranet is recommended. Make sure you also write down your purchasing email / order details, for ease of updating in the future.

The USB contains the books and planners. Many of them are mirrored on the website too for ease of use.
If you are using the kit for Tier 1 Class teaching, see the Tier 1 Implementation part of the book. If you are using the Book for Tier 2 and 3 Intervention, see the Tier 2 & 3 Intervention section.
