Updated Materials

Changing with the World Around Us
One of the advantages to online publishing and Web-based education programs is that books and materials can be updated as needed.

When the country re-elected President Bush, scientists downgraded Pluto, and Lance Armstrong won the Tour de France again, our books and lessons reflected these historical events.

When customers suggested changes, we listened, and our resources reflect the knowledge you helped bring to us. For example, educators shared with us that some levels of our benchmark books were too difficult and others were too easy. So, we revised a number of the benchmarks to better match the levels being assessed.

We are always dedicated to bringing you the best materials possible.

Why We Update Materials
  • Customers make great suggestions.
  • News events necessitate factual changes.
  • Improved illustrations and photos become available.
  • Different teaching/learning methodologies emerge.
