Welcome,
welcome
I'm
so pleased that in your crazy, busy day, you've taken the time to stop
by. As an educator in the classroom and at home, I am passionate about
the need to promote literacy throughout the years. As such, I know
that I can be proud of what Usborne stands for and the product we
have. And this business is amazing!
After
14 years I am still as excited as I was when I first started with
Usborne Books At Home.
If
we could wish for one thing for our children as they grow what might
that be? Although you and I might differ on specifics and methods, we
could probably agree that we would want to know that our children have
been able to develop to their greatest potential. One important factor
in realizing that potential is the ability to read well. It is
important to know how powerful a tool literacy is. Studies show that
children who read well and are excited about books go on to be more
successful in life. Research has also proven that reading well is the
single skill that allows children to acquire all other skills. "Next
to hugging our children, reading aloud is the most important nurturing
we can give. And don't tell me you don't have time... whoever said
being a parent was going to be a time saving activity. (Jim Trelease
[Reader's Digest. Oct 1995]) What better way to get them excited about
reading than with great books?!
This is where Usborne Books At Home comes into the picture.
There
are many facets to the Usborne Books At Home
program, but all of these begin with the books themselves. These
amazing, award-winning books for all ages are on the cutting edge of
children's books. Written with humour and packed with games, puzzles,
illustrations, photographs and internet links, Usborne books help
children discover that "finding out can and should be one of life's
greatest pleasures". (Peter Usborne) Usborne publishing is
uncompromisingly committed to producing books of the highest quality.
