About us

Simple Solutions is a line of educational materials that is helping students achieve dramatic results in Math, English, and Science across the country and beyond. By ensuring increased retention of skills and concepts, Simple Solutions fosters student self-confidence, which means better students and best test scores. For teachers, it provides the missing piece in the puzzle of curriculum, allowing them to cover more material in a year with the knowledge that their students will retain it. Summer Solutions is utilizes the same powerful methodology as Simple Solutions. It promotes ongoing mastery of skills, so students come back in the fall completely fresh on the concepts learned in the previous year.

  • How the Simple Solutions Approach Works to Improve Learning Retention All of our workbooks are specifically designed to increase learning retention among students. We use three time-tested, research-based strategies to increase student success in the classroom. Just minutes a day of this practice helps strengthen skills, increase academic achievement, build student confidence, and raise standardized test scores. Retrieval Practice When students complete a Simple Solutions lesson, they repeatedly retrieve information from memory. The mental effort it takes to do this strengthens their neural pathways, making it easier to recall the information in the future. Retrieval practice allows students to truly master concepts, retain what they’ve learned, and apply their learning to other situations. Spacing Our materials spread retrieval practice out over time in a process called “spacing.” Students systematically revisit and recall skills and concepts in short lessons throughout the school year or over the summer. This approach differs from traditional textbooks or learning materials that focus on massed practice, or “cramming.” When students cram, they may learn the material, but it resides in short-term memory and is quickly forgotten. Students who practice spacing benefit from long-term learning retention. They learn the material more deeply and are better able to transfer their learning to new situations. Interleaving Traditional textbooks and other materials rely on massed (blocked) practice. The lessons go over one concept repeatedly and move onto the next. The Simple Solutions approach is different. Each of our lessons provides a variety of questions or problems using concepts students have already learned. Instead of using the same approach for the whole page, students must think about which strategy they’ll use to get the answer.

  • Here's one of the questions we always get at Simple Solutions Learning. Q: "Why do you give your program free for one year for schools to try it out?" A: Our founder Nancy McGraw always taught the staff that all classrooms across the country are different. Instead of spending lots of money doing a research study to prove it, let's give the teachers the materials to try for themselves. This way they can see the results in their own classroom. That was back in 2003 and twenty-one years later we still offer our pilot program to any school who wants to use it and see the amazing results. Educators, we have a 100% no strings attached pilot program you can sign up for to use in the 2024-2025 school year. We will provide you with the following: -One book for every student using the program. -Digital or printable quiz access. -Teacher Edition access. -Live training webinar to learn how to use the program. -Free additional resources and our famous worksheet generator. We know you'll love using Simple Solutions and fall in love with the program just like 95% of our customers who pilot! Fill out our contact form to get more info today! https://lnkd.in/gTGnRdRQ

  • Feedback is a gift! It's a really special gift when we receive feedback like this! My name is Susannah (from Holy Spirit in Tuscaloosa), and I met you at the NCEA conference a few weeks ago! I’m a first-year teacher, and I really can’t put into words how much love I have for Simple Solutions and what it has done for fostering an AMAZING start to my class’s morning and love of math. I didn’t even know you guys had different subjects until the conference, and after looking through some of them, I’ve brought my enthusiasm for Simple Solutions back to my coworkers. The other second-grade teacher and I looked through all the subjects you have books for, and we are very interested in adding your Social Studies book to what we order yearly for second grade at our school! #Education #Teacher #SimpleSolutionsLearning
