Testimonials

I was walking through American Legacy this afternoon and doing my usual reading a page here and a page there of text. I had to come in and share with you how extraordinary I think your papers are. We get so entwined in the day to day it is easy to overlook what is in your hands.

I picked up Alabama Studies Weekly today, the articles are strong, direct and most especially interactive. I know it sounds like I am describing your website. There is an article “Maps Show the Way” and in one story you led me to the importance, joy, family value, and the purpose of Maps. Dad gets the map, Mom researches on the computer, Sister opens her eyes to the use of maps, and everyone gets a trip to the museum. It is powerful, uplifting and gets you in the mood to study more on maps. I can see the student going home and asking Dad to find a Map, and suggesting they find a place to go and have fun as a family.

Every day as I walk through the Assembly Area I read an article or two. I also put them in the lunch room, especially your specialty papers like the Iditarod, or Character Education so I can excite interest in our company for the great work you do. All the papers are written with a great command of the language, an honest view of history and current topics, and a strong call to action.

I felt compelled to share my moment, and let you know what I think of the great service you provide America’s children. Way to go!

My teachers absolutely love the magazines and with my observation it has really been a joy for the students. Everything is current, great pictures, and goes with our required tested skills for our state exams. I am confident our scores will rise. They are good now, but will be better. Also, I want to tell you that anytime I have had to call and change teacher names, add new names, or simply request that items be sent that were not received - it was handled professionally, quickly, and with kindness. That brought me to know your company really cares about it's product. I am purchasing the science and social studies magazines next year too. I feel that strongly about it. I am the new state coordinator for reading for Tennessee Reading Association and I have shown your materials to other people across TN and Knox County Schools have purchased them also due to my showing them to their administration. I just wanted to pass that along and say "THANKS". I look forward to receiving my samples for the committee and to doing business with you again.

Thank you so much for the information. This is our Second year with FL Studies Weekly and our first year with Science Studies Weekly—we ABSOLUTELY LOVE the program. Thank you for your help and for the company developing such a helpful teaching/learning tool.

My mother was a second grade teacher at Mission Manor Elementary School here in Tucson. Last year in remembrance of her, family and friends established a Memory Fund with the money to be spent for the second grade students at her former school. The teachers chose to spend most of the money on Studies Weekly for fifth and second grade classes.

I have been invited multiple times to visit the classes of the two teachers. The children and teachers enjoyed Studies Weekly and the children were delighted to tell me about different articles and what they had learned.

One of the teachers even utilized her copies throughout the year, by purchasing three ring binders for each child and three hole punching the periodicals when they arrived, and then she had the students put them in the binders. This created a wonderful review/re-use resource for the children to take home this summer. The children are delighted and anxious to share their binders with their families and to take them to the library for additional research on topics.

Again, we were quite impressed with your publication. We are a “National School of Character” and have looked at a lot of character materials. Yours is exemplary. We know Georgia Studies will meet the same height quality.

I absolutely love studies weekly. It is the best thing I’ve seen for social studies in quite some time.

I have had the opportunity of using the Florida Studies Weekly in my fourth grade classes for the past two years, and found it to be absolutely helpful for my students. We found at times we got more information from the Florida Studies Weekly and preferred to use it instead of the text. My parents also commented that they were learning so much about Florida, from helping their children with Home Learning Assignments found in Florida Studies Weekly.

I just want to let you know that my fourth grade team loves the Texas Studies Weekly newspaper! We just started using it this year. After we read the first couple of issues with our students, we voted to “chunk” our textbook and use the TSW to teach our Texas history curriculum. We love it! I am a native Texan and have taught for many years. I am surprised at all I have learned about my “native” state. Every issue is very informative as it is presented in a very interesting way, the kids and I love it! I also what you to know that it will be a permanent part of our fourth grade curriculum next year and in the future. Thank you for such an educational resource.

My fourth grade science teacher just started handing out your Science Studies Weekly paper. We have a homework assignment in it tonight (do the crossword). I just wanted to tell you that I think your newspaper is the greatest I have ever read! It informs you on anything you would like to know about that particular subject. This is a great way to teach students, or anyone who really wants to know about science. Thanks for publishing it.

I just wanted to let you know that when the fourth grade teachers met with our principal, we showed him the teacher packet that goes along with the Social Studies Weekly. He was very impressed to see all the standards we will cover using these. The teachers also love all the help that you provide to make Social Studies more interesting than the textbooks (ours are way outdated). The kids look forward to the times when we work in the Social Studies Weekly. I just wanted to let you know how much we appreciated this publication and all it does to make our jobs easier.

At our school, formal Social Studies instruction in first grade begins in January. I have been looking and looking for a “kid-friendly” supplement to our curriculum, and I believe I’ve found, in Studies Weekly, just want I’ve been hoping to find.

I teach fourth grade in Browar County Florida and have been using Florida Studies Weekly all year with my fourth graders and we love it! Next year I will be moving to fifth grade with my students and I am interested in your products then as well.

Thanks so much for your rapid response and assistance. I am thrilled to have found your website for the publications. My grandchildren use them in their classes and I am excited to have them at the middle school level for my students. Thanks again.
