Maximum Learning with Max Axiom

My Students

Have you ever read a textbook that made you feel lost and confused? Max Axiom cures that problem. The Max Axiom series explains scientific topics with accurate, up-to-date information in an appealing way. Even my reluctant readers want to read these books.

My students range in reading abilities and background experiences.

Many of my students have not been outside of the city to visit science museums or even a zoo. Any time that I can bring more into the classroom, I know that I am broadening their horizons and making learning possible.

My Project

"What a great idea. Taking a scientific concept, mixing it with a super hero who can shrink to the size of an atom, adding fantastic graphics, writing that is easy to understand, and then putting it together in a 32-page book that is reader friendly. This book is written in graphic format that is a favorite of mine. It makes it perfect for students who are reluctant readers and never seem to finish a book on their own. Young adults who want to read anything they can get their hands on will also enjoy the graphics and fast paced text. The full-color graphics make an enormous impact on the story. Red boxes with pertinent vocabulary words and meanings are included throughout the book. Vocabulary has been well selected and this book is an excellent resource that could be used for writing a summary, a book report, or a source for research. Where do you sit on in a roller coaster to feel the best speed?" --Children's Literature Comprehensive Database, January 2007

Reaching every student in my classroom is important.

With these books, even my most reluctant readers will walk away with a rich understanding of physics, chemistry, genetics and other science topics.
