BREAK THROUGH To learning reimagined

When students are engaged deeply, they learn more effectively and perform better in their courses.

Built in collaboration with educators and students nationwide, REVEL is the newest, fully digital way to deliver respected Pearson content.

REVEL for Literature for Composition enlivens course content with media interactives and assessments— integrated directly within the authors’ narrative—that provide opportunities for students to read about and practice course material in tandem.
