"The American Teenage Super Study Notes" (officially known as Everything You Need to Ace XXX Subject in One Big Fat Notebook) has been wildly popular in both China and the U.S. for years, and our Editor's Pick previously introduced it.

Previously, many education-focused WeChat accounts in China recommended this series. But its fame isn't just due to those recommendations gaining popularity "behind closed doors." A look at Amazon's reviews shows each book has numerous high ratings, and many are bestsellers in their subject areas, proving a wide readership and good reputation among U.S. students. So, what makes this series shine in both the Chinese and American education scenes?
Visual
Unlike traditional textbooks that rely on lengthy lectures, this book uses visual note-taking formats to present key points. It's clearly organized, easy to read, and explains concepts using straightforward bullet points, with examples, charts, and diagrams. Each chapter ends with "Check Your Knowledge" and "Check Your Answers" sections to ensure your child grasps the material.
Comprehensive
Unlike many learning resources, this series isn't geared toward specific grades. Instead, each book acts as a complete set of study notes for its subject, covering all key points from elementary through middle School (or high school for the high school editions). Of course, it's aligned with U.S. educational standards, "meeting Common Core State Standards, Next Generation Science Standards, and state history standards."
Fun
The books use handwritten fonts and colorful highlights that feel like a child's own study notes. The illustrations are playful, like doodles kids might draw in their textbooks. Actual content examples are relatable and easy to understand for everyday situations.
Who should use this series?
- The Middle School edition covers topics for elementary through middle school, making it a great companion through those critical 9 years of foundational learning. The High School edition covers high school and early college prep topics. These books are the ultimate roadmaps for summarizing and mastering subjects. And if you've forgotten something, just pick up the book for a quick reference—it's super convenient.
- Perfect for parents who want to refresh their knowledge of U.S. K-12 subjects, or for anyone curious about how things are taught here. Honestly, this means every diligent parent dreaming of their child's bright future!
