Science and Language Arts in a Bilingual Setting Introduces Middle Grade Readers to a New Adventure

    FORT WORTH, TX, December 04, 2014 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Progressive Rising Phoenix Press is pleased to announce its latest publication MUDDY MADELEINE MEETS AN ARACH-A-DOO, by Amanda Stone Norton. This middle grade reader creatively weaves together science and language arts into a bilingual setting, forming a unique and comical adventure.

Muddy Madeleine Meets an Arach-A-Doo promotes a love of science and nature for students from diverse cultures and experiences. This connection to the natural world, whether its biology, physics, mathematics or thermodynamics, is critical to today's youth. According to the US Department of Labor, nine of the ten fastest growing occupations require degrees in science, technology, engineering, or math (STEM), and if students are going to take advantage of these high-paying, personally rewarding and stable positions, they need to be inspired at an early age to explore these fields of study.

As children and their families read about Muddy and spider, Hilandera, they will recognize how Muddy and her friends benefit from their STEM-related adventures, promoting skills in:
- Problem solving
- Conflict management
- Self-confidence
- Critical thinking
- Creativity

Science is for everyone, and Muddy Madeleine Meets an Arach-A-Doo promotes this notion by connecting scientific concepts with real-world issues. Muddy's classmates quickly change their minds about insects and arachnids when they learn how their extinction would impact the students' dinner plates. Muddy and her friends show that STEM adventures are not only cool, but loads of fun!

Progressive Rising Phoenix recognizes that the publishing industry has changed. Our program is not a fit for every author, and every author isn't a fit for Progressive Rising Phoenix. Authors cover their production cost, receive higher royalties and larger discounts. We offer additional print options and a co-op environment that authors can't obtain on their own. We're building a select list; for this reason we do not solicit authors, but do accept submissions.
