About American Book Company's Test-Prep Materials
American Book Company's writers and curriculum specialists have decades of total teaching experience. We've worked with students at every level—from kindergarten through middle school, and from high school to college and teacher prep.
What is American Book Company doing for your students?
Meeting standards, exceeding expectations
Our goal is to provide you with great test-prep tools based on your school system's exit exams and assessments. Each of our state test-prep books is tailored to your state education board's standards and objectives.
We take pride in writing books that are...
- accurate. Before we create any state-specific book, we study state standards, test goals, and test content. We strive to write books that show students what they'll really see on exams.
- effective. American Book Company books have worked for students all across the country. (See third-party case studies on American Book Company books.) They'll work for your students too.
- easy to read. Instead of pasting the same content across grade levels, we craft appropriate content all the way through each book. This means passages, explanations, and examples geared to what most students are capable of reading without trouble. This also means proper amounts of graphics, activities, and game ideas.
- enjoyable for teachers. Stuck between “teaching to the test” and watching your students struggle? We have the answer. Our books prepare students for state tests by teaching content that addresses state standards.
- engaging for students. We seek the simplest explanations possible. We also try to stay in tune with topics and ideas relevant to current youth culture. Including references to the environment, sports, and music alongside passages about Shakespeare and Pythagoras helps keep students engaged.
Fulfilling standards and objectives
Our books and software are each specially designed to help students prepare and review for unique state exit exams, state assessments, and graduation tests. We also publish materials based on state content standards for concept and skill development in math, reading, language arts, science, social studies, and writing.
Teaching content, not teaching to the test
We don't try to come up with secret tricks for passing standardized tests. Instead, we focus on building skills. Our books and software are all about
concrete explanations,
step-by-step instructions,
plentiful practice exercises,
interactive graphics, and
full-length practice tests.
Plus, each book features a Diagnostic Test, which
shows your students exactly how they can maximize their test-prep time by digging into real standards-based content.
