National Geographic 6-12 Catalog 2008-2009 - (Page Cover2) Dear Educators and Friends: Welcome to the 2008-2009 secondary catalog from National Geographic School Publishing. We are expanding our line of language, literacy, and content materials, so that together we can Inspire World Class Learning. We invite you to take a look at our ™ full range of effective resources, in addition to these exciting new offerings . . . • Edge, our core intervention program for High School introduced last year, came through a rigorous effectiveness study with flying colors. Visit NGSP.com to see the Executive Summary and complete report. This report confirms that Edge builds reading, writing, and language power for striving readers and English language learners. See pages 40-72 to learn more about Edge. • This year we are pleased to introduce the Fundamentals level of Edge that is specially designed for English language learners at the Beginning and Early Intermediate proficiency levels. New arrivals, who need to build survival English, can begin with Inside the USA and then move into Edge Fundamentals. The Fundamentals level appears on page 42, and Inside the USA appears on page 36. • Step Inside Language, Literacy, & Content and experience success with this brand-new Middle School program designed specifically for striving readers and English language learners. Together with Edge, you can now implement a standards-based solution for Grades 6–12. There’s lots more to tell. Please see pages 4-38. • Inspire the writer in every student with The Good Writer’s Kit. See your secondary students rapidly increase their vocabulary and boost their reading strategies and skills with The Good Reader’s Kit. In each kit, interactive Teaching Visuals connected to creative student materials allow you to model and practice strategies consistent with Writing Next and Reading Next. Please see pages 92-95 and 118-121. • Your response to SummerCentral packs for Grades PreK-12, many in English and Spanish at the elementary grades, inspired us to offer options for Summer 2009, complete with teaching material and pacing guides to fit every known model. At all grade levels, SummerCentral is packaged in an easy-to-distribute, easy-tocarry, easy-to-store box! See pages 116-117 and visit NGSP.com in January 2009 for the newest summer school offerings. We hope that you find this year’s catalog informative and easy to use. We’ve also introduced a redesigned NGSP.com to make it easier than ever to find, evaluate, and order the materials you need online. As always, we appreciate your taking the time to review our educational materials and for allowing us to be part of your school day.
