    My wife and I are strong believers in rote learning and require our son to do daily practice worksheets for math, spelling, reading, writing, grammar, and history.

    We think your worksheets are too long. We’re using something similar from a competitive site that has shorter stories and 4 to 5 reading comprehension questions. That seems about right for our needs.

    I have enough to last about 3 months. After that, I’ll probably rework yours to be shorter… unless, in the mean time, it occurs to you that offering both a short and long version of each could expand your customer base.

  33. As an ESL teacher, I have found your literary tools very handy, appropriate and a great aid to deepen in the knowledge of English, as most of my students have a higher than average level and are starting to think in English. What better guide? Thank you

    As for the text “Castles”, my students and I were not quite sure about the answer to question 6 (which of the following best describes the structure of the text in the fifth paragraph?) whose answer was letter a – compare and contrast. Wouldn’t that be c?
    Well, forgive me if I am wrong since we are a bilingual school in south America and English is not our native language. I look forward to a response.

    • Yes, you are right.
      I made an error on the key in haste.

      1,000 apologies for my idiocy.

      The error has been corrected.
      Thank you for reporting it.

    Thanks a bundle for your intellectual generosity. These are really useful passages to encourage students devote a little of their time to reading instead of searching for nonsense material.
