What is a Real-Time Textbook?
Real-Time Textbooks are mini-textbooks that have a unique combination of learning mediums. It is historically objective and skill-based. It's where storytelling, art, current events, real people, culture, social media platforms and rigorous learning opportunities come together for a high quality learning experience.
DESIGNED TO HELP CLOSE ACHIEVEMENT GAPS
We have a team of licensed educators and feedback from students who help with designing the books layout and content.
The activities can bring any child a level up in their ability to research, read and speak formally while learning about real people and topics left out of traditional textbooks.
We cover a wide array of literacy standards, with a cross -curricular approach to learning. We have the freedom and design team to customize formats for specific schools too.
