在风景优美、充满英式风情的温哥华岛上， 我们的出版愿望一步步得以实现！为中国的未来留学生出版这一系列图书，对我们也是一个挑战。
一是如何寻找合适的英语为母语的作者。经过多次广告发布、面谈筛选之后，我们逐渐形成了一个固定的教师作者群体，他们任教于加拿大公立学校或英语教学机构，大多具有ESL教学经验，有些人还在亚洲国家中小学工作过多年，对亚洲学生的学习特点有所了解。这样编写出来的书才能更符合中国学生的需求。
二是采用什么样的写作标准。西方中小学没有统编教材，但教辅图书也不少。通过对这些图书的收集整理和分析，我们找到了一个较为通用的教学标准——美国现代学校教育使用的“共同核心标准”(Common Core State Standards)。这一标准非常类似于中国的统一教学大纲。因此， 我们新出版的“Common Core”系列，将以这一目前美国学校流行的标准为指导，与现行美国学校的教学标准一致，同时参考了其他英语国家的教学标准与要求，供未来赴所有英语国家留学的孩子们使用。
三是编写内容的现代感。为了提高学生的学习兴趣，我们要求作者紧密结合西方现代生活与新技术广泛应用时代，让读者接触到最时兴的英语素材、在真实世界里学习英语和课程。因此，“Common Core”系列图书，在内容上尽量满足学生对新知的认识与理解。
四是难度标准的把握。由于这一系列是为未来出国留学孩子所准备，所以我们采用全英文编写方式，让学生适应全英文环境下进行阅读与学习。难度保持与英语国家各年级的标准一致，这样让读者真实了解西方学生的水平。中国学生在使用时，可以根据自己的实际水平，选择合适难度的分册，循序渐进地加以提高。
对于“共同核心标准”这一概念，中国家长和孩子可能有些陌生。它是美国、加拿大等国家的幼儿园和中小学所使用的统一教学标准。在美国和加拿大，学校教育系统是由各个州（省）政府所监管。这意味着，阿肯色州与俄勒冈州的孩子们在学校所学的内容会不太相同。当他完成K12教育，继续接受更高阶段的教育或步入职业生涯时，如果所受教育采用不一样的标准，便由此产生一些问题。尤其当某个家庭从一个州搬迁至另一个州时，孩子的续读或许会出现一些麻烦。“共同核心标准”正是着力于解决这类问题。它是由美国一些著名教育家与政界、商界很有影响力的人物极力倡导而制定，以尽量弥合各州之间的教育差异。目前为此，美国42个州、哥伦比亚地区、4个领地都在使用这一教学标准。比尔·盖茨先生也极力赞助这一标准的推广。
共同核心标准，涵盖了幼儿园至12年级，旨在培养学生的批判性思考能力，并传授各年级的学科知识。让他们学会设立问题、自我思考，将所学内容进行关联和牵引。共同核心标准，首先注重的是教学生如何思考，然后是学习内容。注重记忆基础之上的知识与技能训练和相互关联。这一标准具有以下特点：
1. 建立在大量研究与事实基础之上而制定；
2. 标准清晰、易于理解并保持教学的延续性；
3. 结合未来的大学教育与职业发展；
4. 丰富的内容与知识应用，高度训练学生的思考能力；
5. 融汇了各州教学标准的优势；
6. 参考了其他国家的教育优点，让学生未来更好地适应全球化经济与社会。
目前，共同核心标准包括两类课程：一是英语语言艺术（English Language Arts，简称“ELA”），另一门是数学。ELA又包括阅读、写作、听说等各个领域。这些语言能力，也是学习其他科目的关键，如科学、历史与信息技术等。所以它不是一门简单的英语科目。数学大纲，不是重点强调记忆，而是让学生在训练技能的同时，能获取解决数学问题的答案。要求学生运用数学知识和技能，解决真实世界中的问题。因此数学对学生来讲，会变得更加有趣而充满真实感。
围绕“共同核心标准”，Holybird Publishing利用北美的教师资源，策划出版了三个系列：《Smart Reading》、《Smart Math》、《Smart Science》。让中国学生学起来更有目标和参照标准。在完全按照美国“共同核心标准”编写的同时，我们也参考了其他英语国家的教学标准与难度，因此对所有未来在西方留学的孩子都可适用，帮助他们提升英语水平、建立自我学习策略，训练思考能力。夯实了这些基础，未来学习便会游刃有余！Holybird PublishingFor the Well-trained MindIn Victoria, BC, CanadaLesson 1The New Bicycle
