What The Provider Says:

Saxon Math is the nation's best selling and most thoroughly researched skills-based mathematics program for grades K-12. Saxon's unique pedagogical approach, based on instruction, practice and assessment distributed across the grade level, incorporates 20 years of research and classroom experience. This same successful, classroom-tested approach is also applied to the popular Saxon Phonics and Spelling K-3, Phonics Intervention for older, struggling readers and early learning programs.

Saxon Publishers, founded in 1981, is an imprint of Harcourt Achieve. Headquartered in Austin, Texas, Harcourt Achieve provides customer-driven educational materials that fundamentally and positively change the lives of young, adolescent, and adult learners and empower those who teach them. The company is also the publisher of the Rigby and Steck-Vaughn product lines.

With its increased focus on accountability and emphasis on "what works" in the classroom, the NCLB Act seeks to fulfill the same mission that has always guided Saxon Publishers—to turn around education in America.

In big cities and small towns from coast to coast, Saxon’s research-supported programs and dynamic teaching pedagogy have a proven track record of helping schools increase test scores and close the achievement gap. Saxon Publishers is committed to creating educational programs that meet the new federal guidelines while maintaining the founding principles that have made Saxon a classroom success for over two decades.

The introduction of the NCLB Act and more stringent classroom accountability has prompted an increasing number of schools to seek out research-based and proven math curricula. Saxon Math for Grades K–12 promotes student learning and has been shown to help improve student test results—year after year. And the Saxon approach to teaching and learning continues to garner praise from both researchers and educators. In fact, a recent nationwide survey conducted by The Complete K-12 Newsletter ranked Saxon Math as the No. 1 math program choice for Grades K–2.

Saxon Phonics and Spelling K—3 is a supplemental program written to complement any basal reading program and enables children working at different skill levels to develop a solid reading foundation. Research and experience show that instruction in phonics is crucial to reading success. The systematic phonics instruction found in the Saxon program gives students the tools they need to meet or exceed reading expectations for their grade level. Saxon Phonics and Spelling K—3 provides students with the most important foundational skills in reading, phonemic awareness, decoding, spelling, alphabetizing, handwriting, fluency, checking for understanding, and support for vocabulary and vocabulary development.
