Mark D. Pencil and Friends

Today's music paired with educational lessons!

About Me

Have you ever wondered why children can learn every word to their favorite hit songs of today, but have difficulty remembering facts taught in school?
Mark D. Pencil and his friends will make your children excited about learning using today's music.
This cd can be used everyday for learning basic reading and math facts, following verbal directions, exercising, and proper school behavior skills.
All the songs were written by public school teachers to introduce and reinforce specific curriculum standards! Go to http://markdpencil.com to find a detailed list of each curriculum standard taught.
Mark D. Pencil is now available on iTUNES, CDBaby.com, Amazon.com, Rhapsody, and most every other digital retailer.
You can also purchase the cd directly from us by clicking here!
