ARC PRESS BOOKS
I worked as a writer, illustrator, and graphic designer for ARC Press, the in-house publishing department of American Reading Company, an EdTech company that publishes children’s books and books for early readers.
I wrote, illustrated, and designed books to help children from kindergarten to middle grades learn how to read and comprehend text. The books cover a wide range of subjects including history, science, and social studies. We also publish children’s fiction books that fit in wide reading libraries. The writing of the books strictly adheres to the level standards based on the curriculum that the company promotes.
