Hollister Kids Offers New Product Line for e-Editions Materials include Super Skills Package, Weekly Features and Themed Academic Units
Hollister Kids is excited to announce it has developed a new product line to meet the growing demand for e-Edition materials.
“Hollister Kids for e-Editions” will feature:
A “Super Skills for e-Editions” activity package introducing e-Editions to students and teachers and exploring academic subject areas through e-Editions.
Two weekly features written live off the news: “NewsBytes for e-Editions,” a feature divided into three age groups, and “e-Edition PLUS,” a current events feature that connects with e-Editions and provides multiple-choice comprehension questions in the style of state tests.
A selection of more than 10 themed Teacher Guides exploring topics ranging from “Election ’08” to “Science” to “Writing Skills” to “Diversity” through e-Editions.
Each of these new products includes hands-on activities through which students explore and use the technology and features of e-Editions, while connecting to national technology standards for computers and information technology.
All academic activities are written to state and national academic standards.
Additional titles will be available as they are developed through early summer. We anticipate that all new e-Edition materials will be ready for the school year.
E-Editions are a challenging new world, but with the launch of “Hollister Kids for e-Editions” you will still be able to offer teachers a broad range of authoritative teaching resources from a proven creator of NIE materials.
