Workbooks follow the progress of the television programs and offer assignments to help you learn. Most public libraries allow you to borrow the workbooks or use them while in the library, or you can purchase your own copy by contacting Kentucky Educational Television. You can also find taped recordings of "GED on TV" at most libraries. Since the program runs in cycles, you can start your course anytime. If you miss the first subject, start with the second subject then catch up on the first subject when the program starts over again.
