Peoples Education Launches Measuring Up Express(TM) for the California Content Standards

SADDLE BROOK, NJ, Apr 06 (MARKET WIRE) --
Peoples Educational Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ: PEDH), a leading provider of
supplemental educational material for the K-12 school market, is pleased
to announce the launch of Measuring Up Express(TM) English Language Arts,
Grades 2-8 materials in California. Measuring Up Express(TM) targets the
California blueprint standards and includes student worktexts, Diagnostic
Practice Tests, and Formative Assessments.

"Educators were looking for a short program that would fit into a busy
school day," commented Vince Konoske, the company's Western Regional Vice
President. "This new standards review program is the perfect tool."

Measuring Up Express(TM) worktexts are a companion to the successful
Measuring Up(R) to the California Content Standards program. In areas
where students need extra instructional support, Measuring Up lessons can
be selected for in-depth standards coverage. Measuring Up Express(TM)
lessons provide a brief review of the standards and relevant vocabulary
at each grade-level. The Grade 7 Measuring Up Express(TM) worktext also
includes a special End-of-Book writing prompt review section to
familiarize students with different types of writing.

The Measuring Up Express(TM) program includes free Formative Assessments
as blackline masters so teachers can monitor student progress at the end
of every chapter. Two free Diagnostic Practice Tests for each student
allow teachers to diagnose student weaknesses and prescribe review
lessons in the Measuring Up Express(TM) or Measuring Up(R) worktexts.
This diagnose-prescribe-instruct model in the Measuring Up(R) program has
helped over 1.3 million California students improve performance.
