Q: Why is this "workbook" on a CD
instead of a printed book? |
A: (1) It is cost
effective for you and for me. Since I save printing costs, I
don’t have to charge as much per “book!”
(2) You can modify the pages! *Add your students’
names to stories to make them more interesting. *Choose a smaller font
or adjust margins to save paper. *Delete or add questions to modify for
specific students or classes. |
Q: Do I need to renew my site-license yearly? |
A: No. Once you have purchased it, it is yours! |
Q: How do I modify the passages? |
A: The passages
are written in Microsoft Word. You can change fonts, text size, color,
etc. as you would with any Word document. Each question is in a text
box. You can drag these boxes anywhere on a page. Any changes you make
will not save to the original CD, but you can do a “save
as” on your computer. |
Q: Can I share these passages with
others? |
A: If
you have purchased a one-classroom copy of the disk, please do not
share with others. If your school has purchased a site-license, the CD
can be put on a server and anyone in the school may make as many copies
as necessary. Copyright prohibits sharing among schools. Thank you for
understanding. |
Q: What parts of the Texas
curriculum do these books cover? |
A: The passages
are in the format of the reading TAKS and cover the reading objectives
tested. They also cover all science TEKS. Of course, you will need to
do hands-on science as well to make sure your students are allowed to
"do," rather than just read about, science! |
Q: May I try out your sample
passages with my students? |
A: Yes, you may
make one class set of copies. |
