Kaplan Hands-on Books
Open up a world of discovery and expression with Kaplan Hands-on Books! Developed in partnership with RealeBooks and Hewlett-Packard, Kaplan Hands-on Books is a web-driven program that enables students and teachers to author, publish and distribute picture books that supplement their curriculum – at a small fraction of the cost of commercially distributed children's books. Create, Print, Share, Grow: Kaplan Hands-on Books projects augment classroom reading and writing curricula, providing successful learning experiences. Combining award-winning RealeWriterPro software and online digital libraries with quality HP digital cameras and printers, Kaplan Hands-on Books Publishing Centers make it easy for teachers and students in Pre-K through 5th grade to create picture books that can be printed at school for sharing at home, posted on the school's eLibrary (browse Kaplan Hands-on Books Sample Online Library), and distributed through email to friends and family. In addition to affordable software and hardware, we offer professional development workshops to help you integrate book creation into your lesson plans across the entire curriculum, adapt the program for various age groups and grade levels, and accommodate special student populations, such as English language learners (ELL). To learn more about Kaplan Hands-on Books visit our website at www.kaplanco.com and click on the Publishing & Custom Kits tab. |
