NEW DISTRIBUTOR:  NATIONAL EDUCATIONAL SYSTEMS, INC
 
Hello everyone.  We had a wonderful time at the TABE conference last week in McAllen.  The weather was beautiful and the turnout great!  We were able to showcase many of the new Q4 products at the NES booth.  (See previous blog)  Response from attendees was great and we hope to see many of these new products at your campuses soon.  Thanks to all who came by to say hello and preview NES materials. 
 
Please note that Q4 is making a major transition this fall of 2011.  National Educational Systems, Inc. will now be distributing Q4 materials. NES will be the exclusive distributor for materials that I have developed.  The new catalog will direct you to the NES website and will also provide NES order information. Soon we will have a revised catalog with all the Q4 products that are currently available.  These products will also be in the 2012 NES catalog. 
 
For now, we have an order form with some of the newest Q4 products for you to review. Click on the small picture of the order form to view the full-size version.  Please e-mail me through the Q4 website, or e-mail me at q4whatever.it.takes@gmail.com and I'll be happy to send you an order form to download and details about any product in which you may be interested. 
 
NES and Q4 are partnering up to provide quality products and the best possible service for you and your district.  This partnership will also free me up so that I can work on developing more products that address your campus and district needs.

OCTOBER 2011
 
     
Hello All!  The TABE Conference is just around the corner.  If you're going, I hope you will consider attending my session on Thursday morning.  See Session Info Below. 
 
I've been working on several projects which I'll be highlighting at the session and also at the National Educational Systems, Inc. booth.
Look for:
·       Bubbles s Burbujas – A Series of Dual Language Flip Books for Phonics, Grammar, and Critical Concepts such as Inferences and Summarizing.  Music CDs, Table-Top Flip Charts - And all of this in Smart Board Technology Format for Districts Implementing at the District Level.
·       ALFREDITO – A Fan with 52 Cards that Contain 355 Spanish High Frequency Words.  Based on Frequency and Complexity.  The Cards are Color-coded.  5 Levels: PreK-3rd.  If you're district is focusing on Spanish at the primary grades, or a Dual-language district, you'll love this tool which expedites literacy development in 'espanol'.
·       ESMI – An English Spanish Dictionary for Students to Learn Grammar and Literary Terms which Standardized READING and WRITING Assessments Cover. 100 Terms with Examples of Each.
·       THE Q4 MULTIPLICATION KIT – A 3-part Kit with a Training DVD, a Tablet with Reproducible pages for Students and Parents, and Nifty Manipulative Puzzles for Students to Practice Terms.  Chants, Rhymes, Songs, Mnemonics and more. There is no doubt that students will memorize their tables in record speed, with understanding of the process, support from home, and best of all, in a fun way!
·       PTP s PARTE – The Newly Revised Dual Language Program for Parents to 'Take Part' in the Development of their Child's Literacy.  New Book Format.  New Word Lists.  New Songs.   New Lower Price!
 
Of course, I still have all the 'old stuff' from 20 years ago - Estas si las van a aprender Series and Desarrollando destrezas and Developing English Series.
