We
know our courses work, but see what those that use them have to
say. |

Tremendous
– appropriate reading level for all students – challenging
– rewarding for all. Using these materials and strategies
our department raised our test scores 34.5 percentage points. Highly
recommended.

These
are wonderful tutorials for those kids in danger of failing the
TAKS test. The lessons are also a very good source for benchmark
test questions. And, they are affordable!

I
want to let you know how pleased I have been with the implementation
of your learning system in my 8th Grade Accelerated United States
History class. . . . I tried the traditional method . . . This proved
less than satisfactory; then, I tried your methods. This approach
helped the students grasp important concepts, learn essential elements,
and most importantly, pass all unit and semester exams. I have found
this is the only way I can successfully teach this course in just
nine weeks!

I
never did the reading assignments and I don’t like listening
to the teacher, that’s why I failed history. Now I am making
good grades. I can do these lessons. All I have to do is read and
write down the answer. I don’t have to search all over the
book for the answer. This is a good way to teach. I am passing tests
because I can remember most of the answers and I can study my own
answers.

First
of all I am going to start off by saying I am not a good student.
You can probably tell that by reading this. I would try to read
through the textbook chapters and not understand anything that was
written. My teacher knew I was having trouble, she gave me a packet
of readings and questions. I would read each paragraph, and then
I would go back and answer the questions. The questions would go
in the exact order of the story so the answers were easy to find.
. . After I answered the questions I understood what the lesson
was about. Since I actually understood I kind of liked learning
social studies. I will admit though that there were a lot of questions
in each lesson. I would rather do a little more work and actually
understand what was going on. It beats reading a whole chapter and
not understanding what I am suppose to know, and then trying to
answer questions at the end not knowing the answers. . . If each
history lesson had questions like the one that I did, I think that
many more students would understand history and actually enjoy it.
