we don’t just deliver facts. Our print materials and eBooks burst with engaging graphics, appealing
layouts, friendly language, and hands-on activities that invite students to be active learners in their

Common Core
STATE STANDARDS INITIATIVE
Research and media skills blended into the Standards as a whole
To be ready for college, workforce training, and life in a technological society, students need the ability
to gather, comprehend, evaluate, synthesize, and report on information and ideas, to conduct original
research in order to answer questions or solve problems, and to analyze and create a high volume and
extensive range of print and nonprint texts in media forms old and new. The need to conduct research
and to produce and consume media is embedded into every aspect of today’s curriculum. In like fashion,
research and media skills and understandings are embedded throughout the Standards rather than
treated in a separate section.

tools they need to FIND, ORGANIZE, and SHARE information clearly
