Customer FAQs
What kinds of resources does Let’s Get Real offer?
All of my K-5 books, printables, posters, and games focus on content-area literacy—building the specialized vocabulary of science and social studies—because having an extensive vocabulary is not only a top predictor of reading success, it also has a huge impact on overall school success and standardized testing scores. My science materials target topics and standards outlined in the NGSS and TEKS. In social studies, I concentrate on multicultural literacy, providing resources that develop a knowledge of and appreciation for the diverse cultures in our global society.
