Moving Forward

This year, Moving Beyond the Page is available for children up through age 10. Beginning in October of 2008, the first concept of the 9-11 level will be released. We will be adding a new Age Level to Moving Beyond the Page each year until the completion of the 10-12 Year Old curriculum. If you start using Moving Beyond the Page now, your child will be able to continue using it through the 5th or 6th grade year.
