Feel the love from Pennsylvania educators

"Because we are learning from home and using online instruction, we are able to use this format to guide students at their level and allow them to work independently."

Educator
St. Margaret Mary School, PA

"Students are 'more cognizant of reading' and are building a growth mindset. When they take a quiz and get 2 out of 4 questions right, they want to go and retake the quiz."

Joseph
Assistant Director of Learning and Innovation

"The articles are an effective and time efficient way to add excellent depth of content as well as supportive content to my lessons and curriculum specific content."
