What happens once we publish materials? We listen and learn!
We are constantly looking for ways to improve your classroom experience. As a result, we change and adapt based on what you need so the materials we publish today are based on countless hours of real classroom use.
The more I used the text [Literature & Thought] with the students, the more impressed I became. I enjoyed this more than any other text in my years of teaching.

I've used the AMSCO® book in AP® U.S. History for over a decade. It is written by classroom teachers which makes it particularly practical and useful for relevant review.

I really liked the digital text because it was interactive. The animations helped me see what the problem would look like in physical reality and made the material more interesting.
