The new MegaSkills® Minibooks gives teachers and parents practical, tested activities to do with children in order to build basic skills that are a constant resource for them. The activities strengthen the various ways that children learn to read, write, do mathematics, and think creatively.

New Staff Development Videos with Dr. Dorothy Rich -

MegaSkills is unique in that research confirms that is unites and strengthens existing programs, integrating and reinforcing them. MegaSkills is a catalyst, not an add on. Those of us with experience in education understand all too well that real and lasting education reform requires raising the aspirations, motivation, and hope for all students. This is exactly what MegaSkills provides now in these minibooks and videos, this material is more convenient and accessible than ever before.

It is endorsed by teachers and parents from across the nation.
