Author Information

Donna M. Roszak is a lifelong resident of Wisconsin where she lives with her husband and two sons. In between taking care of her family and teaching Spanish, she writes simplified versions of school curriculum guides. She was inspired to create the Ask Me Smarter series as a result of her frustration with interpreting convoluted elementary textbooks and curriculum learning targets to help her own two children during their formative years. She subscribes to the notion that learning does not necessarily align with chronological age. She believes that all children can learn and benefit through this engaging, progressive questioning format. She hopes all parents share in her passion for helping school-age children learn and grow, for empowering them with the reinforcement of essential knowledge and facts, and for providing them the tools to become life-long learners and informed members of our global society.
