Meet Saxon Teacher!
We are excited to announce the arrival of Saxon Teacher! We now have Saxon Teacher in stock for Algebra 1 and Algebra 2, with Advanced Math coming soon. We offer Saxon Teacher individually or as part of a bundle with the Home Study Kits. This product is made up of five CDs, which are Windows and Mac compatible. The set contains four Lesson CDs and one Test Solutions CD. Lesson CDs accompany each lesson in the textbook, from the teaching portion to the Practice Set and the Problem Set. The Practice Set problems for each lesson are solved in one video, while individual problems from the Problem Set are contained on separate files, so students can view the solution to one problem from a Problem Set easily.
To get a closer look at what Saxon Teacher is like, please click on the link to the demos for Algebra 1 or Algebra 2 below. In this brief demo, you will find a sample of actual lesson instruction and problem solutions in one continuous video. In addition to the navigation tools found in the demo, Saxon Teacher Lesson and Test CDs give students the ability to move easily from one lesson or problem to another. After you bring up the player, click anywhere on it to activate the program. Then click the [Play Demo] button. Roll your mouse over the middle of the player to access the controller.

Sue S. on why art is easy with Come Look with Me: Enjoying Art with Children
I used to be afraid of art until I bought this book and shared it with my 5-year-old daughter. I thought fine art was for the sophisticated - certainly not for a regular person like me.
