Ten Terrific Weeks!

Usborne's New Thematic Units

Background:

Ten Terrific Weeks! Reading Adventure Programs were created by an Usborne Books Supervisor and former teacher who was concerned about filling the summer days with her own children.  The potential for the programs was quickly recognized and an award-winning team of supervisors turned the programs into a way to help other parents, teachers, home educators, day care providers, before and after school providers, grandparents, and just about anybody looking for a fun way to keep children learning.  The daily activities are age-appropriate, interactive ideas which make learning fun and typically take an hour or less.  The activity sets are so comprehensive that they even come with shopping lists for supplies or food (if applicable).  Our goal is for every child to be excited about learning!  There is nothing as special as seeing a child’s face light up when they learn something new.  So, have fun and keep learning!
