One aspect of diversity we celebrate at Achieve3000 is the different ways our students learn. All our students are unique, and no two take in and process information in exactly the same way. The beauty of our texts is their diversity, and in this issue, Andrew Ordover, Ed.D., our Vice President of Product at Achieve3000, helps us understand that ANY piece of text can be compelling; it all depends on what we do with it, and what we let students do with it. According to Andrew, “Our language has tremendous flexibility, beauty, and power. Getting control of it, through fluent reading and confident writing, helps students take control of their lives in innumerable ways. If we believe that this language is a gift, we should treat it like any gift we give to children, and encourage them to use it, abuse it, toss it around, bang it up a little bit, and find out just what it can do.”



In this holiday season, I invite you to celebrate the richness and wonderful possibilities of us. Enjoy your new issue of Achieve Magazine, be thankful for what we have, and enjoy each other and the season.
