INTRODUCING A NEW BRAND!

Heinemann primera biblioteca is the latest in a long tradition of great brands from Heinemann-Raintree Classroom. Heinemann primera biblioteca consists of Spanish translations from selections of our Heinemann First Library brand designed at the appropriate reading level for grades 1-3. From concepts to text to graphic design—it's all developed and tested to make sure these books are just right for the primary student. The hot new series that introduce this brand are "El ciclo de vida" (Life Cycle of a . . .), "Explorar el civismo" (Exploring Citizenship), "Materiales cambiantes" (Changing Materials), and "La salud y el estado físico" (Health and Fitness).

El ciclo de vida (Life Cycle of a . . .)

WEB SITE CHANGES

Online Catalog: Can't wait to see the new Classroom 2010-2011 catalogs? Now you don't have to! You can still request to have one shipped to you, but we've also put the entire Nonfiction Catalog and Reading Catalog online so that you can flip through it just like you would if it were in your hot little hands. Turn the pages by clicking buttons or the pages themselves, blow up the pages to actual size, go to a specific page, and so on. Plus, it looks like you're actually turning the pages...which is kind of neat. :-)
Major Correlations Reporting Upgrade: This summer, we significantly upgraded the way that the correlated product is displayed in our State Correlation Tool to include all of our available Leveling information, as well as a one-click solution to export the results directly into an Excel file that you can also use as an order form. Correlations have never been easier!
Classroom Library Builder: Add titles to your Classroom Library with this step-by-step wizard. Search by level or topic and choose the titles that match your needs, including English or Spanish titles!
Bookroom Builder: Use this tool to build a Bookroom or add titles by level or topic to an existing Bookroom. Search over 6,000 titles to match your needs in English or Spanish!
Lexile Leveling: We've added Lexile Levels to our upgraded online leveling tool! You can determine what products meet your specific leveled needs: Grade Level, Age Level, Hi-Lo Levels, Accelerated Reader© ATOS Levels, Guided Reading Levels, and now Lexile too!
Many More Teaching Notes: We've added the Lesson Plans and Teaching Guides for Red Brick Learning products to our already expansive line of Teaching Notes. Great nonfiction books teach themselves...up to a point. Heinemann-Raintree Classroom moves beyond those limits with Teaching Notes that support the instruction of text structures, text features, comprehension, and vocabulary.
Accelerated Reader® Changes: As of June 2010, Renaissance Learning removed the 20-book minimum for ordering their Accelerated Reader® quizzes. However, orders with 19 titles or less are limited strictly to downloadable quiz format. To receive the quizzes on a CD-ROM, you must still order at least 20 quizzable titles. The Bookbag and Checkout process will let you know how many quizzes you have and which option is available to you with that specific order.
New Rep Finder Map: Our Rep Finder system enables you to enter your Zip Code to quickly identify precisely the right person to call for your local needs. But some customers miss the old maps we used to display, so we've brought back the map and now it's downloadable!

UPGRADED EXCEL ORDER FORM

While we like to think that our web site is the best way to order directly from Heinemann-Raintree Classroom, there are a lot of our customers who need (or prefer) to fill out an offline order form. Last year we added a credit card/purchase order info section, In-Form Help, and upgraded programming of our Emailable Order feature. It's features like those that makes our customers and reps say that it's "the best order form in the business"! But we wanted to take it further and make it even better:

Accelerated Reader® Quizzes: By checking one cell, the form will total up all of the titles that have Accelerated Reader® levels so that you can order them with your books. Remember that Renaissance Learning has waived the 20-title limit to order quizzes, so now any order can include Accelerated Reader® quizzes! (Note that orders with less than 20 titles are only eligible for download able titles. To get a CD-ROM, you still need at least 20 titles in your order.)

Contact Us: We'll keep right on working to make improvements, so feel free to let us know if there is some information you'd like to see added to our pages. Perhaps there's a feature or resource that would improve your online experience? Suggestions are always welcome as some of our best web ideas have come directly from our customers!
