As a home educator and teacher I know that reading aloud to my kids– yes even when they can read to themselves is one of the best things that we can do as parents to help them academically in the future. Evil earthquakes that bury whole towns and shake the world's greatest cities to bits. It's your turn to be shaken up as you see how they work!

At Books2Door, we believe that reading is a fundamental skill that every child should have to help improve their vocabulary, grammar, and critical thinking skills. On one of the local school visits for secondary I was amazed that the school has a similar philosophy and of the 5 English lessons a week 2 are devoted to reading, with the teacher reading aloud to the students and then discussing the books in more detail. Why Buy Box Sets? We understand that buying kids books can be expensive. That's why we offer a wide range of box sets and series at affordable prices, making it easier for parents, teachers, and libraries to access quality books for children.It helps build vocabulary, I’m often stopped and asked what a word means or how to spell it. Research shows that hearing someone else speak, read aloud combined with doing is the best way to learn new facts and information. Reading alone takes in a huge amount, but speaking increases that and listening to it increases it further.

For over twenty years Horrible Geography has taken the boring out of geological surveys, the dull out of drafting a map, and tedium out of tide tables.

Discover where in the world you can hide from vicious vampire bats, spot spiders the size of dinner plates and peer down the tallest trees on the planet. Are you ready to explore the world’s jungliest jungles and climb their tallest trees, smell their stinkiest plants and meet their hairiest insects? Each book in the 12 book collection focuses on one area from Peaks to Ocean or Rainforests to Desserts. They are covered in detail but with a mix of comic illustrations (great for my youngest that loves the graphic novel style) to detailed explanations of them.
