Now, they are reaching out to schools and school districts nationwide with an unprecedented educational resource grant offer, and South Carolina schools have already reaped the benefits.

The grant is for a free, one-year site license, providing unlimited access to all 35 Sylvan Dell eBooks, featuring flipviewer technology with selectable English and Spanish text and audio. The license can be used on all school computers and may be placed on secure school Web sites, enabling students and their families to log in and have access from their homes.

Grants will be awarded to one elementary school per district and are open to every district in Canada. To facilitate submission, individual schools may submit the grant application directly. When more than one school from a single district applies, Sylvan Dell will ask the district contact to make the selection.

An online grant application is available at: www.SylvanDellPublishing.com/ResourceGrant.htm.

The rapid response in South Carolina has been impressive. So far, the following local schools in the state have been awarded the Sylvan Dell Publishing educational resource grant:
