America and the World

Results

Why use America and the World?

Many reasons spring to mind: our versatility, rich content, and customization, to name a few.

But let's face it, what ultimately counts are results, and you won't be disappointed. Here are a few real-life examples of what our curriculum can do for your students:

 

Adam, 8th Grade, Mild Dyslexia

We offer this as a good before-and-after snapshot. Adam studied lesson three in the early stages of our U.S. History course, around late September. Notice his basic two-sentence answer to the first question, drawn from our American Revolution lesson. Contrast that with his answer to Lesson 6 (Civil War), which he wrote just before Thanksgiving. It is much more explicit and detailed than his earlier answer. As you can see, he had so much to say that we eventually needed to add more lines to our essay questions!

 

 

 

Megan, 8th Grade, Severe Dyslexia

Megan just crushed this response from our World War I lesson, given in January. The question was, "How did the Germans and British wage war on civilians, and what were the consequences?" Spelling is still an issue, but her writing is light years ahead of where it was at the beginning of the school year.

 

 

 

Diana, 11th Grade, ESL Student

Diana's native language is Spanish, and she had been struggling with reading comprehension for a long time. Not anymore! Her teacher used our modeling exercises to constantly improve her paragraph writing skills. This essay was written completely from memory. Great job Diana!
