"Women have made and continue to make incredible contributions to public education in Texas," said Jill Tennant, president of DynaStudy, Inc. "As a 100% women-owned and women-operated educational publishing company, we are proud to continue that tradition by creating affordable, effective tools for Texas students, teachers, and parents."

A broad selection of Reading, English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science products is available, Grades 3 through Exit Level, including Spanish versions through Grade 6.
"Strong sales and customer demand for more products have enabled us to quickly expand our product line from just nine review guides to 24 review guides with coordinating teacher transparency packets. With this HUB certification, we hope to reach an even wider audience of schools and districts so that all Texas students, teachers, and parents can benefit from our affordable TAKS preparation tools," said Tennant.
