VAST PORTAL develops and markets tutorials dedicated to helping students improve English-Language Arts skills so that they can compete and thrive in today's fast-paced, increasingly technical world. After all, the ability to read and write well is the foundation for all academic and vocational pursuits.
Our CD courses supplement and reinforce skills learned in traditional, home school, and alternative educational settings. Although created with students in grades 4 through 12 in mind, the coursework also benefits younger and older students.
Each course focuses on specific, key concepts. Students listen to and watch the audio/visual tutorial, then read and do the exercises in the workbook, and review their work and understanding using the answer key and key concepts guide.
Instead of buying another textbook covering multiple topics on many levels, our customers read through the CD descriptions and can choose to order only those that best fit their needs in the following areas:
- Grammar
- Writing
- Reading
- Punctuation
- Spelling
