What our customers say about Show What You Know® educational materials
"We like the Show What You Know® materials because they cover three subject areas thoroughly. The teacher's supplement is helpful because it not only tells the answers, but also tells the skill and the process to get the answer. These materials were a big contribution to our increased test scores because they helped the students be familiar with the format of the test and practice similar questions. We like the format, the thoroughness, the teacher's supplement, and the ease-of-use of these materials. We would recommend these materials because they use the same format as the OAA and have age appropriate questions. The questions align with our standards and the maps indicate the skills so we can match them together." - Sue Loechler, Jill Huston, Carol Lipari, and Missy Johnston, 4th Grade Teachers, Fouse Elementary, Westerville, OH
"We believe that Show What You Know® helps the students with TEKS objectives for the TAKS tests. The workbooks allow the students to get a feel for how the actual test will be. The workbooks also allow the teacher to see what objectives may need work. We believe they helped our scores by 45-50 percent at least. They were implemented during our Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday Tutorials. And we believe that when used correctly, test scores and student confidence goes up 100 percent. The staff feels it helps with the overall goal to make sure each child is given the opportunity to succeed." - Michelle Foreman, Texas Serenity Academy, Houston, TX
"We are so grateful to Show What You Know® Publishing for the supplemental materials that you donated to us after the devastating fire that destroyed our high school and caused extensive smoke damage to our junior high campus. We have been using your high quality products as a TAKS classroom and remediation resource for several years. It was a great surprise when I opened the seven large boxes that you donated to us! Rest assured, we will make good use of the materials and would simply like to say THANKS. Your generous donation will help us get back on our feet with our curriculum and TAKS preparation." - Marva Rasco, Curriculum Director, Lockney ISD, TX
"The format and strategies for test taking are helpful. The students were more familiar with the test as a result of this product. Using the advice given on test-taking strategies, students felt more confident. The booklets are a great way to re-teach standards that have been taught. Students are able to see examples of test-like items and learn about what to do before and during a test. It helps students practice many skills needed to become better readers, writers, and mathematicians." - Claudia Salvestrin, Elementary Principal,Cheltenham Elementary, Denver Public Schools, CO
"I love how closely the Show What You Know® products mirror the actual CSAP and that everything is in one book. They look like the CSAP so the students are familiar with the format and the content of the test when CSAP comes around in March! They are a big help." - Samara Williams, Elementary Principal, Rose Hill Elementary, Adams 14, CO
"I stumbled across your Show What You Know® workbooks at Barnes and Noble last year when my oldest grandson was in 5th grade. He struggles in school and the FCAT has always been a challenge. I gave him the book and he read a page a night over the school year until the FCAT. He did better than he had ever done before - his teacher was amazed and asked what he did that helped and he told her, 'My Grandma got me this book and I read it every night.' Thanks for a great product." - Marsha Blunk, Grandmother, West Melbourne, FL
"The CSAP preparation texts are aligned with the standards and the CSAP Assessment. Details of test items are provided for review. Examples of Assessment items reflect the look and rigor of the CSAP test. The analysis of answer selections are also helpful in determining how to select the best answer. These texts offer acceptable ways of teaching for the test...not to the test." - Suzette Pope, Literacy Resource Teacher, Coronado High School, District #11, Colorado Springs, CO
"I have used the Show What You Know® materials for 2 years. They have adequately helped to prepare my students for the OAT tests. The Show What You Know® book is closely aligned to the standards we teach. The format of the book mirrors the OAT test, thus preparing my students for the testing situation. Our school is among the top 25 schools in Franklin County. I have to believe that good teachers using good materials contributed to our success. I would recommend the Show What You Know® products to other educators because they work!" - Kathie Fedun, 5th Grade Teacher, Maize Elementary, Columbus City Schools, OH
"I would highly recommend Show What You Know® products to others that are in search of WASL-style questions to supplement everyday curriculum. The books are nicely organized and the teacher’s guide clearly outlines student response expectations. I found your product to be clear, concise, and valuable to my students." - Darlene Evans, Teacher, Knolls Vista Elementary – Moses Lake, WA
"The Show What You Know® workbooks are designed just like the Reading and Writing WASL. By the time students actually took the state assessment, they had less anxiety and were familiar with the format and vocabulary. The product is excellent! Our students' scores in '05 Reading were 32%. They rose last year to 63%. This product contributed significantly to my classroom instruction and I believe it helped raise student scores. The product is excellent!" - Dawn Campbell Boyden,Teacher, PROVE High School, Lake Stevens, WA
"We have used Show What You Know® products for several years. During the '05-'06 school year and again in '06-'07, Girard Intermediate passed all sections of the OAT and received a rating of 'Excellent.' I believe Show What You Know® products, along with several other initiatives, contributed to this success." - David Leo, Principal, Girard Intermediate, Girard, OH
"The Show What You Know® products are very versatile and can be used in a variety of ways to give students plenty of experience and opportunities for answering OAT-like questions. The products are easy to use as well. We particularly like the scoring component so we can zero in on specific GLIs and areas to focus our teaching efforts." - Barbara J. Edwards, Principal, Binns Elementary School Principal, Columbus, OH
