Is your child thrilled about learning all kinds of heavy English stuff? Didn’t think so.
The Life of Fred Language Arts Series books from Polka Dot Publishers will change your child’s mind and attitude toward English language studies!
The Life of Fred Language Arts Series helps teenagers sharpen their grammar, spelling, reading, and writing skills with history, science, and math lessons tossed in along the way.
No other textbooks are like these! Each text is written in the style of a story with a humorous story line. Instead of dry exposition and endless drill exercises, these books are filled with the fun and page-turning tales of Fred Gauss, a child prodigy math genius born on the western slopes of the Siberian mountains. During his hilarious adventures, he encounters every day situations that call for solving language arts problems.
Written by Dr. Stanley Schmidt with the intent to make language arts come alive with lots of humor, clear explanations, and silly illustrations that stick in the mind.
