Why Book Punch is Different?

Book Punch is unique. It is a powerful, simple and useful teaching tool, which helps student read and write about literature. Here are some of the qualities that make Book Punch stand out.

• It fits right in. Book Punch strengthens the instruction of content that is already being taught. It has an exponential impact on reading, writing and literature instruction.

• It is not a quiz. There is no evidence showing literature-based quizzes improve reading comprehension. Book Punch is based on our Punch writing programs, which have been shown through rigorous evaluations to improve student skills.

• It is much more than printable lesson plans. The teaching guides are helpful on their own, but using Book Punch empowers students to become more involved in their own learning process.

• It is easy to implement. P rofessional development is available, but not required. To help make Book Punch easy to use, lesson plan aids are provided for each novel.

• It is simple to maintain. We provide all updates without involving your school district's technical staff.

• It complements current resources. There is no need to buy additional computers. Most classrooms have access to a computer lab. Plus, students can use it at school and at home.

• It fits into many budget categories. Because Book Punch is so flexible, it can be purchased with a wide variety of funding sources.

• It saves schools money. Book Punch's online component helps identify and treat pupil problem areas. It also provides meaningful activities for a whole class thereby giving teachers time to personally assist struggling students.
