Improve literacy with an Usborne school book fair

Usborne’s award-winning school book fairs not only create a fabulous focal point to any fundraising initiative, they can also make a positive difference to literacy:

For teachers

Usborne books bring topics to life

• Usborne books cover curriculum topics in a lively and engaging style, with superb illustrations and hands-on projects. From Ancient Egypt to weather, and from times tables to poetry, there is an Usborne book to support every classroom (and homework) project.

Usborne books complement and enrich your reading scheme

• Several key Usborne series complement recognised reading schemes and incorporate book banding, Lexile™ measures, Accelerated Reader™ etc, allowing teachers to expand reading resources with appropriately-graded new books that genuinely inspire children’s reading.

Usborne books provide quality-tested online learning opportunities

• Many Usborne books contain internet links, continually assessed and updated by our website research team, which introduce readers to the best, most relevant and age-appropriate websites to expand and enrich their learning.

Usborne book fairs save schools money

• Schools get up to 60% of the book fair sales value in free books for classrooms and libraries, stretching budgets even further.

Usborne book fairs help you to choose the books you really need

• Expert advice from your Usborne representative makes choosing those free books even easier.

For children

A book for every child

• From Greek myths to football, and from fairy cakes to submarines, there are Usborne books on all subjects to stimulate even the most reluctant reader.

A fresh approach

• Usborne books are fresh, readable and fun, and make learning all about curiosity, discovery and enjoyment rather than dry facts and figures.

Beautiful, colourful, irresistible books

• Teachers (and Usborne representatives) delight in telling us how rewarding it is when the children “pounce” on an Usborne book display, so excited are they at the prospect of reading our books.

For parents

Buy the best for your child…

• Parents want to support their children’s education at home, and with Usborne they can be confident that the books they buy reflect and reinforce what is being taught in class, with Usborne quality, reliability and style.

…and support your child’s school, too

• With Usborne school book fairs, it’s so easy for parents to build a library of top-quality books that the whole family will benefit from at home, whilst also helping to raise funds for the school.
