How did Learn-a-lot Publications begin?

Hi, I'm Jan McDonald.  Having designed hundreds of hands-on activities and booklets for myself and my colleagues for over 20 years, I decided to publish.  I used my experience as a classroom teacher to design materials that I thought would be helpful for other teachers, too!

The Series is "in progress" so look for additions in the future!

Here are some of the underlying features I thought were important.  Materials: 
      *
that had complete sets of skill-building activities.                         
        *
that used approved teaching techniques, supported by research.
       *
that are affordable, effective tools and are convenient to use.     

I try to instill a love of reading in my students and to create a world of wonder through books.  I believe that children:
     *
need a solid foundation in phonemic awareness.
       *
should have lots of opportunities to read, read, read.

The result is the Learn-a-lot® Series with the motto

Students learn a lot and have fun, too!

 

 

I would love to hear from you! 

Do you have any questions that you want to ask me?

Have you used the Series?  Please feel free to comment.

What kind of free stuff should I include in the future?
