InteractIve activity books and readers designed to develop key educational skills

created by South african education specialists

Welcome to Smart-KIdS

Smart-Kids is a series of workbooks and readers for parents who want to get involved with their children’s education. this series is designed to make helping your child as easy as possible. the books are packed with answers, notes and tips for parents and they’re such fun that you won’t have to nag your children to do extra practice at home.

Smart-Kids is for teachers to recommend or set as homework. they’re written by experienced educators, so there’s progression of tasks from easy to difficult, planned conceptual development and lots of opportunities for children to practise their skills in different contexts.

but most of all Smart-Kids is for children who love having fun, laughing and applying their knowledge and skills in different ways. all children can be Smart-Kids, whether they need extra practice to catch up, for extension or to consolidate their skills.

Since we launched Smart-Kids we’ve had lots of wonderful letters from parents, teachers and children telling us what a difference the series has made in their lives. We’re adding new titles all the time. So keep checking for new products at www.smart-kids.co.za. We’d love to hear your comments and suggestions.

best wishes www.smart-kids.co.za
