With 30 years of publishing children's literature under their belts, Usborne has proven themselves to be a reputable company. With a reputation for high quality, educational and entertaining children's literature it is no wonder that they are a company loved by parents and educators all over the world. The numerous literary awards that they have won attest to the quality of their work. With topics ranging from history to fantasy, geography to music, Usborne tries to provide something for every child.
Books for Young Children
Encouraging children to read outside of school can be a difficult task for many parents. Most parents realize that it is essential for their children to develop good reading skills but with computers, video games and movies all providing entertainment, it can be difficult to foster a love for reading. Providing reading material that is fun to read but also educational may seem like a daunting task.
Usborne Books is a resource that can help bridge this gap for parents and children. Parents may have a hard time believing that their children would be willing to read a kid's book called The Usborne Book of World History or one called Times Tables and children may have a hard time believing that they want to read those books. . However, with dynamic images, games, stickers, reconstructions, maps, and even internet-linked books, Usborne Books has managed to make their books for young children fascinating and exciting.
Books for Babies
Reading is not just for school age children. The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends that babies be read to daily from the age of six months. Reading together not only provides quality time for parents to share with their children but it is also proven to aid in a child's brain development. Usborne has a wide variety of cloth books, board books and “touchy-feely” books for babies.
Reading Programs
For beginning readers, Usborne has a reading program of over 150 books divided into different reading levels. Classic children's stories such as “Pinocchio” and “Oliver Twist” are included as well as many other topics that appeal to children such as dragons, pirates, frogs and princesses just to name a few. The program itself was designed by Allison Kelly, an expert in teaching reading. A breakdown of the program is available on the Usborne website.
Books for Every Child
Usborne Books provides a vast array of books to appeal to children of all ages. In a world where parents, teachers and caregivers are genuinely concerned about the literacy of our children it is refreshing to find a company so dedicated to quality children's literature. Usborne has managed to bridge the gap between educational and fun reading for children.
