StudySync is an educational software suite created by BookheadEd Learning, LLC for middle school, high school, and college-level education.[1] StudySync was created by Robert Romano in partnership with Jay King in Sonoma County, California, USA.[2] It is a digital literacy curriculum with print support, used to promote reading, writing, critical thinking, speaking and listening skills.[3] It is a comprehensive ELA/ELL (English Language Acquisition/English Language Learners) curriculum.[4][5] The material is sortable by topic and the learners’ reading level.[6]
It received top honors from EdTech Digest, winning its “Cool Tool” Award in 2013.[7][8] Starting in 2013 it has been in partnership with McGraw-Hill Education.[9]
