Introduction As parents, teachers, booksellers, distributors or publishers we are all educators. Sterling Publishing continually strives to “make education fun”. We try to package our educational series in formats that are appealing and create content that is accessible and engaging. We run seminars for teachers on how to use our books in the classroom and would be happy to discuss with you the opportunity for running this program in your area. In addition we provide support to bookshops, libraries and school suppliers to market and promote these key series to parents, teachers and children. The aim of this catalog is to showcase our key educational series, the titles available, how they work, and the ancillary material available to use at home, in the classroom, or for in-store events. If you see something of interest please contact me, and I will be happy to discuss how we can work together. These series provide an alternative approach to key subjects that aims to “make education fun”. I look forward to hearing from you. Adrian Greenwood Director of UK & Export Sales

Classic stories are the bedrock of any good reading program, and making them accessible and appealing is an on-going issue for all teachers and parents. This series is the culmination of research into formats and narrative style and with sales of over 3 million copies, and school adoptions across the world, we have created a successful and appealing series for ages 7+. These are the ideal bridge from our Early Readers series, I’m Going to Read and Easy Reader Classics, to the Unabridged Classics. Each book also contains a series of 10 discussion questions that can be used in the classroom. These can also be downloaded and printed from our website to use in the classroom. In addition there is an afterword for parents and teachers. The hardback (HB) format gives the books a high perceived value and makes them exceptionally durable. At $5.95 we have also managed to keep the price affordable. This is our number one selling children’s series across the world, and I urge you to try these today. We will be adding book & CD packages to this series in 2010.

• Over 40 abridged classics, expertly retold • Ideal for ages 7+ • Illustrations throughout make the stories appealing to reluctant readers • Discussion Questions at the back of each book which can also be downloaded from our website • Afterword for teachers and parents • HB format makes the books durable and attractive • $5.95 price point makes the books affordable and appealing • Over 3 million copies sold worldwide • School adoptions across the world • Book & CD packages to be launched in 2010

Sample Questions • How does Alice react the first time she sees the White Rabbit? What would you have done in her place? (from Classic Starts: Alice in Wonderland) • Peter’s life is full of adventures. Which of these was your favorite? Have you ever had an adventure? (from Classic Starts: Peter Pan) • Tabaqi the jackal is known for making trouble and telling lies. Do you know anyone like this? Have you ever told a lie? (from Classic Starts: The Jungle Book)

I’m Going To

READ!

Learning to read is a huge step for all children, and making it easy and fun is the goal of all teachers and parents. Children love stories. This simple truth underlies all the books in this series, which are carefully designed to maximize children’s ability to decode words. Harriet Ziefert and Sterling have created an innovative method for reinforcing vocabulary at Levels 1 and 2, known as The Word Bank. This easy-to-use ‘bank’ highlights new words as they are introduced. Level 1: Kindergarten–Grade 1… Ages 4–6 • Word bank to highlight new words • Consistent placement of text to promote readability • Easy words and phrases • Simple sentences build to make simple stories • Art and design help new readers decode text Level 2: Grade 1… Ages 6–7 • Word bank to highlight new words • Rhyming text introduced • More difficult words, but vocabulary is still limited • Longer sentences and longer stories • Designed for easy readability

Level 3: Grade 2 … Ages 7–8 • Richer vocabulary of up to 200 different words • Varied sentence structure • High-interest stories with longer plots • Designed to promote independent reading Level 4: Grades 3 and up … Ages 8 and up • Richer vocabulary of more than 300 different words • Short chapters, multiple stories, or poems • More complex plots for the newly independent reader • Emphasis on reading for meaning

This unique tool is designed to give the new reader:

In addition to over 100 readers we have a series of 6 workbooks

Biographies provide the perfect mix of human and political history. Children can learn about an important time in history through the bare facts and can see the human side to the key figures from that time. Therefore, biographies have become an increasingly important way to teach history. The Sterling Biographies provide all of the crucial historical and personal information combined with color illustrations throughout, and all for only $5.95. We have organized the Biographies in groups of six within particular fields, including: Inventors, Explorers, Famous Women and US Presidents and First Ladies.

Babies are smart, books make them smarter

A Read-and-Play Program for Babies and Toddlers Babies have amazing brains that soak up knowledge, doubling in size during the first 12 months. Every time they receive stimulation—through sight and sound, smell and touch, love and cuddles—they become smarter and more aware of the world around them. That gives parents a unique opportunity to “build a brain” for a lifetime of learning. According to the National Commission on Reading, reading aloud to children is “the single most important intervention” that parents can make in ensuring their child’s later reading success. Carefully leveled by age and ability in six-month increments, the Begin Smart™ program will expand the emerging motor and cognitive skills of children from birth to two years. AVAILABLE Spring 2010 All titles are $9.95

Safety All Begin Smart books have been tested and meet ASTM safety standards and the new CPSIA guidelines.

Begin Smart ™ A Developmental Program for Babies and Toddlers

Developmental Skills Every book includes a list of skills that are aided by that book. Parents will learn what connections are being made in babies’ brains at each age level, and they’ll be able to watch their babies develop these skills.

Begin Smart ™ WebSite At www.beginsmartbooks.com, parents can find advice from child development experts, tips for creative ways to read the Begin Smart books to their babies, and an overview of the entire program.

Notes for Parents The parent notes expand on the list of developmental skills. These notes also give parents ideas for how to read each book to their baby—since every book can be read and played with in a variety of ways.

Dear Parents, This interactive mask book advances the game of peeka-boo. By holding the book up to your face, you take your child to the wonderful world of pretend. Put the book down, and mommy or daddy is back.
