After 25 years in the business, School Zone Publishing just released a new series of flashcards, workbooks and software in Spanish and English. It's a smart move, acknowledging the large and rapidly increasing Hispanic population in the United States.
According to the U.S. Census Bureau, the Hispanic community is the nation's biggest minority, numbering 38.8 million people in 2002. Texas has the second-largest Hispanic population in the country after California.
'School Zone is good at listening,' CEO Jonathan Hoffman says. 'We heard the need of many schools and parents for Spanish educational products. By making our workbooks, flashcards and software both Spanish and English, we hope to better serve this country's fastest growing population.'
