"The teacher's guide lays everything out for you. It shows you where you can concentrate on vocabulary, the overreaching theme, comprehension questions, and higher level thinking."

"It has great supports for our ELL learners and it's accessible for readers at all levels. It's engaging and highly motivating. And they absolutely love it and I would highly recommend it."
"I really like it because it really covers, in science especially, the content standards that some of our books don't even cover thoroughly, and it is broken down into the three branches of science."

"The kids enjoy it more because they get to sort, figure out, and write in it, which they don't get to do in textbooks and they also get to take it with them for extra learning"
"They have definitions of the words, they have fill in the blank, pros and cons solutions, different things, like, these are amazing. Kids love them. It'd be fun and engaging."
"I've been using Studies Weekly for several years, and I thought that I had a pretty good understanding of what all I could do with it. And I learned so much more yesterday. They did an exceptional job."

"I love the periodical, that newspaper. The fact that my kids are getting something in hand, which nowadays we're not getting that as much. And it's definitely different than a textbook."
