Created by teachers.
Tested in real classrooms.

Big Bear Books was created by educators with years of classroom experience teaching young ESL learners. The program was developed, tested, and refined in real classrooms to make lessons easier for teachers to deliver and easier for children to understand, remember, and enjoy.
