The focus differs for all provinces, but reading is still a key focus in most provinces. Books in African languages are scarce, so children do not have the opportunity to read in their home language. Some classrooms have no books, and even those classes with sets of readers often have them at the wrong level. Overcoming these challenges is not going to be an easy task.

This issue focuses on all the readers available from Macmillan Education. You are welcome to contact the Macmillan Sales representative in your province to assist you should you need sample copies to show your customers, want to set up an exhibition at a school, train your team on our readers, or if you need brochures in printed or digital format to distribute.

In these very challenging times, it is important to stay positive and focused, and we hope that the article on ‘How to create a positive mindset and achieve your goals’ will help you do exactly that.

‘All work and no play make Jack a dull boy’. To ensure this does not happen to our customers, three booksellers can each win a meal voucher for R500 at a restaurant near them. You only need to answer one easy question in this issue.

Until we talk again next month!

Regards, The Macmillan Team
