For those who are new to Royal Fireworks or those who want to gain a better understanding of what makes our award-winning MCT language arts curriculum special, we have created (and recently updated) a helpful new video. This 13-minute video explains why MCT has become the gold standard in language arts education, as well as the best way to implement the program. Even veteran MCT users may learn something new!

Sometimes we get questions about the best way to use Michael Clay Thompson’s Poodle books, so we’ve produced a new video of Michael discussing his intent for the entire Poodle project and his recommendations for the most effective way of implementing the books with children.

The MCT language arts curriculum is an award-winning curriculum no matter which way you choose to use it: in traditional in-person lessons at home or school or in live online classes taught by Michael himself. Thanks to everyone who voted to award Michael these prestigious honors once again!

Michael Clay Thompson has done it again! The third installment of the Poodle series, “Poodle Knows Poetry,” has been named among the best in family-friendly media, products, and services by the prestigious Mom’s Choice Awards.

We are proud of the award-winning MCT language arts curriculum, but homeschooling parents can be overwhelmed by the scope of information when they’re first introduced to it.

We’re excited to announce that five students who attended Royal Fireworks Online Learning creative writing courses won or placed in the international Saugus Halloween writing contest! These results are a combination of great students and a sound educational approach.

Animated movies. Computer games. Smartphone technology. All of these things have in common fractals, which Benoit Mandlebrot opened up for us. Children who learn how this man bested the odds to discover something that has altered the world as we know it today will be welcomed into the subject of math in a way that a worksheet of problems can never do.

We didn’t need another award to tell us that Michael Clay Thompson’s books are extraordinary; we know it. Still, however, we don’t mind hearing other people say it. And now they have: Michael’s newest book, “Poodle and the Blue Mountain Monster,” has just won a Gold Mom’s Choice Award for Excellence!

Schools and parents all over the world use the MCT language arts curriculum, but the curriculum is so comprehensive that it might be intimidating to those who are new to it.

We’re proud to announce that Michael Clay Thompson’s latest book, “Poodle Knows What?,” has received a Mom’s Choice Gold Award honoring excellence! And we’re not surprised. This book is perhaps the most delightful way to teach young children grammar that has ever been produced!
