/24-7PressRelease/ -- Two leading homeschooling minds: The Old Schoolhouse (TOS) and Amanda Bennett have teamed up to produce a unique E-Book series for children and their busy teacher/moms who are often short on lesson prep time. The Download N Go —Go for learning, go for fun, and go for adventure! series are learning units designed for kids from K - 4th grade, which include short weekly unit studies combined with lapbooking.
To kick off the Download N Go series, the very first unit—Autumn Treasures—is offered as a complimentary download.
Gena Suarez, publisher of The Old Schoolhouse Magazine shares: "We are very excited to announce the partnership and this new product line. That's right—TOS and Amanda Bennett have collaborated to cause a unit study metamorphosis! You know to look to Amanda Bennett for top-notch unit studies, but this new series, Download N Go, is so much more than 'just another unit study.' It incorporates lapbooking in addition to the wealth of content you've come to expect from an Amanda Bennett unit study."
Amanda Bennett (www.unitstudy.com) is well known for her groundbreaking unit studies that are popular with homeschooling families around the world. She explains more about the project:
"We've been listening to homeschooler's suggestions. Many have mentioned their search for an easy to use, ready to go unit study but wished that it would include a lapbook. When the opportunity came to work with the TOS team to create a brand new kind of product, where the elements of unit study learning were merged with the hands-on learning and fun of creating lapbooks— I knew that this was the right direction, and jumped at the chance. Presto—we've got quite a treasure in our new series . . . the TOS team is so creative and kid-and-mom oriented. We've worked hard to create a new and innovative homeschooling product and we're all very excited about its upcoming launch. It's a lot like awaiting the delivery of a new baby— great expectations!"
Perhaps though, it's more like anticipating the revealing of a Monarch butterfly. Diving into the new series, the team took the best parts of both kinds of curriculum and created an original kind of study. The Download N Go series:
• Are downloadable and instantly ready to GO—no other books are required (though recommendations are provided).
• Integrates the construction of a lapbook into each daily lesson, step by step.
• Are simple to use, but complete in content.
• Presents a colorful WOW factor on every page—cultivating curiosity with many high interest activities.
• Requires no expensive resources, and is non-consumable.
• Utilizes a variety of multimedia selections—hyperlinks are embedded right in the study.
Parents are encouraged to start off the New Year with this engaging new way to learn. Many interesting titles are expected beginning in January, 2010: Winter Wonders; Australia; Alaska; Benjamin Franklin; Dr. Seuss; Whales; Kites; Soccer; Valentine's Day; Chocolate; Pizza; Castles; Knights; and on and on . . .
