A team of teachers—who consistently get superior performance from their students on standardized tests—helped create this DVD. They carefully examined reading tests in several states to identify winning strategies for boosting scores and reducing anxiety.

That’s why we’re so pleased to have Vic Mignogna playing the voice of Marko the Pencil. Vic is well known for his award-winning acting in anime cartoons and video games. Vic won Best Actor, 2007 American Anime Awards. As a special reward at the end of Reading Comprehension, Marko makes an appearance at the Golden Stylus Comedy room to show just how sharp he can be!

Included with Reading Comprehension, you get Marko’s cool website where you can download a practice test and answer key, learn more tips for doing well on standardized tests, and check out other helpful tools for scoring high on a reading test.

Testimonials I am a stay at home mom who values education very much, and these resources have been able to help me start my child's education early in order to give her a head start before she even enters into school. - Heather L. The resources I received will help me tremendously with reading skills. I was amazed at how quickly I received my order. - Annette H. My son needed some additional work with his fine motor skills to prepare him for Kindergarten next year. We work out of the books I ordered. He does his "homework" when my older son is completing his after school. He loves it! It makes him feel like a big boy. I was amazed that my order arrived two days after I placed it, especially because it was the Holiday season. - Dawn M. I purchased the full color Kindergarten file folder games, and my students love them. We use them daily during our literacy groups. Your service was great! - Cindy M. They provide a variety of ways to reach different students and allow me to vary my activities year-to-year. - Staci M. I have used all the materials with my Kdg. class and found them to be
so appropriate. The children enjoy them. - Jennifer C.
