SAS offers interactive learning tools in all core disciplines, mapped to state standards, for grades 6-12. SAS is also a provider of free apps that thousands of educators, traditional students and life-long learners are using. Example: I checked out the 'Strategies for Reading Nonfiction' interactive component. It allowed me to select a piece of nonfiction (I choose a biography of William Shakespeare). I then was directed through a few activities. I was told to scan the article and write my initial thoughts. Then I was told to read it carefully and respond to a few more questions. After reading the article, I was instructed to work with the information (making categories of facts, etc.). Finally, I had to draw conclusions about what I had read/learned. Students can then save, print, or email their completed work.
