“I love the setup and easy access for data. The pages look great. I believe you have achieved your goal of creating pages that are open and visually appealing, while making sure students get what they need to review for tests and/or what they’re likely to need as they attempt to do their homework.
I compared the topics and chapters to our U.S. history book, and they matched up very well.
-
The tables, charts, and ‘Did You Know’ sections will help students very much.
-
Time lines are great—useful and easy to read.
-
Spotlights are nice and useful.
-
Clear bold headings help with keeping interest and readability.
-
‘Now You Know’ sections are a great way to sum up!
-
I love the maps with clear headings, descriptions, and explanations.
-
FYI sections are helpful.
I love the mix of color, black and white, and color cartoons. Most texts only have paintings and black-and-white photos. Whoever chose your collection of images did a great job for capturing student interest.”
