Read What Teachers and Students are Saying About the Learn Well Program
"What makes this so exceptional and sets it apart from other comics or graphic novels, is not just the electronic rendering of the comic on CD, but the interactive nature of the CD version of the booklet. Children will respond to the movement of the panels and the voiceovers that can read all of the text, in theatrical ways. This is brilliant on the part of the creators and is essential in an inclusive classroom. Students with disabilities and those with lower reading abilities will be engaged and can read along while the narrator reads the text. Students who are gifted or those who are especially interested in history can also use the additional resources to learn more about the American Revolution. This approach makes better use of Gardner's Multiple Intelligences when compared to traditional lecture."

"I am always looking for ways to enhance learning for my students and find ways to convey material or content in innovating or exciting ways. Overall the Learn Well Programs possess a new approach to learning and engaging students while teaching about American History. The content of both CD-ROMs is exceptional and when compared to two different textbooks it is completely aligned with the curriculum and with the textbooks. I used the NETS ( National Educational Technology Standards ) to evaluate the Program and it graded out as an "A" . The design of the CD-ROM also addresses the differing learning styles of students. The innovativeness of the Learn Well Programs would engage even the most reluctant student in learning about American History."
Lisa Miskell, Teacher, Grand Island , N.Y.
"The Learn Well Program is just the tool a teacher needs to inspire the reluctant reader, or struggling ESL student. The colorful illustrations appeal to the visual learner, and the interactive CDs help make learning History a fun and exciting computer activity. The Learn Well Program is a great support tool for the differentiated classroom of today, and the self-contained Lessons make planning time a joy. They are an asset to any teacher, parent, or student interested in developing reading and learning skills."
Diane Woolverton, Teacher and Learning Consultant - Buffalo, N.Y.
"I taught Social Studies for over thirty years and I think the Learn Well Program is truly amazing. It makes teaching so much easier because it makes learning easier for the students. Everyone wins when you give students an effective way to learn."
John W. Kowalski, Teacher - Medina, N.Y.
"Much more exciting than textbooks. My 5th grade class definitely benefited from using LWP. It really made History leap off the pages for them. Many of my students come from ESL backgrounds and this program was perfect for them."
Daniel Tandarich, 5th Grade - Brooklyn, N.Y.
"As a Middle School teacher of students who have learning problems, it is challenging to find engaging lessons that capture students' interest while covering the required curriculum. Learn Well Products provides great review and supplemental activities that add to a rich, interactive delivery that is not watered down. Students respond well because they are offered meaningful choices and can contribute to their own learning process!"
Clare Dean, Teacher - Buffalo, N.Y.
"It made it easier to concentrate and more fun to pay attention. The pictures on the computer and in the comic books were cool because they weren't boring and the voices made it easier to pay attention. At the end of the chapters, you had review questions which really helped you remember what you learned, so you couldn't just forget about it all after you were done. It was like a game - you want to get the questions right."
Andrew Warne, student - Lockport, N.Y.
"I teach at-risk students ages 12-15. They really enjoyed the booklets. They happily discovered they could read and understand the material. We used the booklet to replace the textbook."
Diana Rogers, Teacher - Cypress, Texas
"I teach 13-15 year old students and the booklets are great...just what I needed for my kids...they loved them...they were much more interesting than the textbooks.
Anna Urich, Teacher - Houston, Texas
