Implementation and Cost

Pricing Information

Since the Arkansas Studies Curriculum has been structured as an integrated whole we believe that it is most effective when implemented in its entirety.  Our recommendation for classroom  implementation is

Kindergarten
            Big Bear’s Arkansas ABCs - one Big Book, two student copies
            ALL AROUND ARKANSAS - one Big Book, two student copies

1st Grade
            Arkansas Stories for Young Children - one copy
            “I can tell you stories...” - One Big Book, two student copies
            “Where did we come from, Grandpa?” - One Big Book, two student copies

2nd Grade
            Sydney and Garrett’s Great Arkansas Adventure - one copy per student

3rd Grade
            Vivianna Becomes an Arkansan - one copy per student

4th Grade
            Cephas Faulk and His WayBack Powder - one copy per student

5th Grade
Arkansas: Then and Now - one copy per student.  (Some districts are using these for both 5th and 6th grades, doing one semester in the 5th and one semester in the 6th, so that these texts can be shared between grades.)

When implemented in the manner described above the cost of the Arkansas Studies Curriculum is about $20.00 per pupil.  This means that over a period of six years the curriculum cost will come to less than $4.00 per student per year.

While this form of implementation is fairly typical for district adoption, there are as many ways to accomplish implementation as there are districts.  To discuss how your district can design an implementation best suited to your needs, please contact W. J. Bennett, Jr., directly; either via email at aaimjb@aol.com, phone (870) 845-4348, or snail mail - Arkansas Studies Curriculum, P. O. Box 1631, Nashville, AR 71852.  If you can specify the quantities of these various materials your school requires, please fill out the attached sheet (click here for the printable .pdf file, and here for a Word version,) email it to us, and we will provide you with a firm quotation for your district.

Individual copies of the text materials are not offered for sale.  Individual copies of the music CD, Arkansas Stories for Young Children ($17.50, shipping and handling included), and the ALL AROUND ARKANSAS puzzle set ($52.50, shipping and handling included) can be ordered as parts of a curriculum set or as individual copies.
