LITERACY BOOKS FOR KIDS

Not only do educational books for kids spark curiosity and imagination, they also have an impact on cognitive development. When children read (or are read to), they are exposed to new vocabulary and begin to develop early literacy skills. Literacy books can include workbooks that encourage children to learn about phonics, letters and handwriting skills as well as reading schemes in which children are exposed to new words and scenarios. For example, children can practice their handwriting skills with Beginner’s Cursive Handwriting, knuckle down with an English Revision Guide or have fun learning about grammar with a wipe-clean book. When it comes to reading schemes, we have plenty to choose from – why not take a look at well renowned reading programmes by Usborne, Raintree, Egmont and Scholastic.
