A FRESH APPROACH TO REVISION FOR 7 - 14 YEAR OLDSLetts Educational, the market leading publisher of home study materials, has introduced a new range of books for 7 to 14 year olds that offer a refreshingly fun approach to revising. In The World Of … series, the learner is not just presented with important facts and ideas that need to be remembered, but is encouraged to discover these facts for themselves in the context of real life scenarios. Inspired by fun characters like Sir Ralph Witherbottom, an accomplished inventor, and his teenage daughter, Izzy, who tries to keep him on the straight and narrow, the learner enters their world and helps them discover the key points of a particular topic. Educationalists agree that studying subjects in the context of real life situations, as children will encounter them through the Witherbottom family, will bring clarity to each subject. Challenging puzzles, fascinating facts and games reinforce key study points. Did you know, for example, that the current North Pole of the Earth is actually a South Pole? This is because the Earth’s magnetic field flips every few tens of thousands of years. Did you also know that a snake can swallow a frog whole and take up to 50 hours to digest it? A book is available for English, Maths, Science, French, Geography and History for every school year in Key Stages 2 and 3. Pupils can use the books to help understand and remember the essential learning points each year. They can also use the extended books for years 6 and 9, which cover the entire KS2 and KS3 curriculum, to prepare for the important SATs (National Tests). “We have designed The World Of … series to support pupils at a crucial time in their learning. Students in Key Stage 2 and 3 are preparing for their National Tests and coping with the transition from primary to secondary school,” says Helen Jacobs, Letts Educational’s Publishing Director. She continues, “The World Of … books use day-to-day situations like foreign travel or sports to ensure that the topics studied stay fresh in the learner’s mind. Humour and the superb illustrations make the books fun, motivating students to learn at home by themselves or with a parent.” The World Of … series is the only range of home-study books available that cover the subjects of Geography, French and History on a year by year basis for Key Stages 2 and 3. - ends - Notes to the Editor: • The World Of … books retail at £3.99 and £4.99 from WH Smiths, Waterstones and all leading book stores. • If you would like to arrange for copies of the series to be given away in your publication as a reader offer, then please contact Danielle Morgan (details below).
