AMS - Empowering parents to empower their children with essential knowledge!
Why Ask Me Smarter - Preschool-5th grade?
1) Because parents are their children's first and best teachers!
2) Because it is a parent-friendly, kid-engaging resource that reinforces what elementary-aged children are learning in school!
3) Because the BRAIN cannot resist a question! (What color are your eyes?)
4) Because learning is optimized through progressive questioning and spaced repetition!
5) Because it challenges the status quo in that it is the ONLY educational resource currently available that encompasses ALL elementary years in one book!
6) Because learning does not necessarily align with chronological age or with a specific grade level!
7) Because it provides parents with a simplified and stream-lined format in interpreting an elementary school curriculum and prescribed learning targets!
8) Because it is a go-to supplemental resource for home schooling families!
9) Because it serves as a comprehensive summer "BRIDGE" tool or "road trip" companion for reinforcing learned concepts, for preparing students for the next grade level, and for preventing the proverbial "SUMMER SLIDE!" Think outside the deck!
10) Because it is available as one curriculum-comprehensive book aligned to state content standards per grade level that includes thousands of progressive Social Studies CORE questions:
What is the name of the state you live in? How many continents are there? What is the name of the ship that the Pilgrims sailed on from England? Who was the second president of the United States: John Adams or Thomas Jefferson? What are the first 10 amendments to the U.S. Constitution called: the Preamble or the Bill of Rights? What are some civic duties that a citizen has?
It is designed as a one-source tool to help parents and guardians empower their children with a solid knowledge foundation, aligned to state content standards per grade level, as they progress through their elementary school years. Its all-encompassing format is what challenges the status quo and makes it unique. Now when you ask your elementary school children, "What did you learn in school today?," YOU will be further empowered in that to some extent you will already know!
