Why Use a Workbook? 

What makes Pages Different

What sets Pages Interactive Workbooks apart is the ease of adding in creative learning opportunities to make your content come alive for your students. Instead of static exercises, students can actively participate in their learning, reinforcing concepts through hands-on experiences. This not only enhances comprehension but also encourages creativity and critical thinking. In a world where education is increasingly diverse, these innovative workbooks offer a dynamic and adaptive approach that empowers students to thrive in their unique learning styles.

The integration of Pages Interactive Workbooks with the Pages app on iPads also takes accessibility to new heights, making learning inclusive for students with diverse needs. The built-in accessibility tools on iPads, such as VoiceOver for auditory support and AssistiveTouch for motor skill assistance, ensure that every student can engage with the content effectively. These features not only accommodate students with disabilities but workbooks also provide a customizable learning environment for everyone, where even high-achieving students can be pushed to explore on-topic content and independently continue to grow their skills, while still allowing the teacher to assist the rest of their peers (check out "Taking it Further" examples in the workbooks here).

By leveraging the power of technology and inclusive design, Pages Interactive Workbooks transform education into an a personalized creative experience, fostering a more equitable learning landscape for students of all abilities.
