Nourish Their Minds. Give Them The School Zone Advantage!
Children are ready and eager for more—more action, information and adventure in their learning—and School Zone delivers, with exciting, multimedia educational products for preschool through sixth grade. Our products are created by educators.
School Zone continues to design and offer workbooks with just the right blend of fun and challenge. Kids show it. Moms and dads know it.
One writes, “This is the best book ever, so much variation, really nice, creative, colorful pictures. My 5-year-old daughter does 2 to 3 different pages every day.” The applause is for School Zone’s Big First Grade workbook.
We update content based on new research rather than following fads or popular-but-pointless trends. Kids learn one skill and then move on to the next. For example, the math workbooks are based on national standards and principles. We get feedback that it works: “I bought this book to fill in our math curriculum gaps, and my 4-year-old loved it. It is easy to read too!!! I love all the colors and pictures.” The Story Problems 1-2 workbook.
Children love the workbooks’ bright colors and big variety. Parents appreciate their flexibility. Lives today are hectic. Many of our workbooks are take-anywhere size, and the larger ones (64-page+) have perforated pages ideal for using as individual worksheets. The workbooks have simple directions so kids can do most concepts themselves, yet also offer an ideal opportunity for parent-child interaction. Visit our sampler page for a quick look or a leisurely browse.
The School Zone Workbooks Advantage promises charming illustrations, a wide range of activities and approaches, and age- and skill-based sequential learning. It’s the best of timeless tradition in a contemporary format.
Meanwhile, School Zone specifically programs its software with “sticky mouse” action, an alternative to “drag and drop,” so the mouse isn’t the challenge — the focus is on educational development.
Just ask Jessica von Behren, a Florida mother, who called School Zone to share success stories from her daughter’s experiences. “This is the only software she has been able to use on her own. It gives her a huge sense of independence. She’s so happy that she can sit at her computer and play games. Her face just shines!” Her daughter’s favorite title is Preschool Pencil-Pal Software.
School Zone brings the fun. It’s always more enjoyable to play games with a friend. Flash Action Addition & Subtraction Software and Flash Action Multiplication & Division Software and many others have two-player game modes.
Practice. Practice. Practice. Our software features progress trackers, giving parents the power to see the areas where their kids need the most help, and rewards kids with printable certificates for a job well done.
Variety. We offer various software types to meet your specific educational needs. Learn more about our Deluxe, On-Track, Flash Action, Pencil-Pal and Puzzle Play software lines by visiting our sampler page.
The Software Advantage also includes colorful graphics, audio prompts and praise, silly sound effects, and funny reward animations that enhance the learning experience and keep it on track. Enjoy learning!
Your child can use flash cards independently or with a friend. They are also a great way for parents to work with their kids and for siblings to help each other, turning learning into a family activity! Here’s what one parent observed about her daughters’ use of Colors, Shapes & More flash cards. “Our girls really love this set of flash cards. They play together. What our younger daughter does not know yet, our older daughter will help to teach her.”
School Zone flash cards have rounded corners for easy sorting, big, bold numbers, letters and images that are easy to read, and attention-getting bright colors that keep kids interested. The flash cards designed for younger ages help boost focus, concentration and eye-hand coordination, in addition to developing early language and number skills. A pleased parent noted that Picture Words flash cards open up multiple, creative activities: “The colors catch (my kids’) attention and we’ve made up so many games with them that they actually ask every day to play with them. I’ve recommended these to other parents.” School Zone’s flash cards for older kids help prepare them for speed drills and timed math and spelling tests at school.
Most flash card sets include a Parent Card with tips and instructions for using, plus an access code for a Golden Scholar Club free online gift of downloadable song, game, video or story book.

Scott McDaniel recently downloaded On-Track Math 2 for his 7-year-old daughter to help her reinforce classroom lessons.
“I did not see that the software program provided by her school in conjunction with her textbook was providing her with enough fun practice,” he said. “(School Zone’s) program delivered exactly what it promised. My daughter got a lot of practice in a very fun way.
“She really liked the games that were available at the end of each section and never complained about ‘“practice.’”

According to a 2010 Fact Sheet published by the Center for the Study of Social Policy, “…68 percent of our nation’s 4th graders cannot read proficiently – a devastating statistic when research confirms that a child who is reading poorly in 4th grade is unlikely to graduate from high school.”
Research also shows time and again, the relationship between reading skills and writing skills. Developing readiness begins early—long before a child has fully made all the “connections” or acquired the focus and fine motor skills he or she will later need. The Start to Read! Early Reading Program was originally developed by educator and School Zone co-founder Dr. James Hoffman. The updated, sequence-based series, which consists of storybooks and complementary materials across three progressive reading levels, is designed to build a solid literary foundation for any child, while teaching kids that reading is fun.
In order to read successfully, children need to master a basic vocabulary of sight words and learn to sound out words. With beginning vocabulary, many basic sight words, clever rhymes, and a short sentence or two on each page, combined with relatable themes, the Start to Read! series is just right.

Available in multi-volume sets, as individual storybooks, book and companion music CD pairings, and downloads and read-along formats, the Start to Read! materials are both classic and contemporary.
One delighted mom writes about the Start to Read! 18-pack set: “My boys love that the stories are read on the CD with music. The CD is much better at animating the story as they read it than busy moms. It's nice to have the whole set at once because I don't have to worry about it now…”
