From educators and parents using Make a Twist
“I used your book all the time. Now teachers keep borrowing it from my office so I’m getting enough for each department.”
Gregory Cowan, Vice Principal, Bladins International School
“It was nice to be able to bring a practical solution to the teacher when discussing the needs of our child. Make a Twist was well-received and enrichment during class time is now underway. Our child is much happier, now challenged rather than being asked to assist other students to fill in time.”
Larissa David, parent of gifted child
“We homeschool our gifted child. When she’s finished the work, we pick up Make a Twist for extension ideas that I know are suitable for her abilities.”
