Usborne books have been developed with children of all ages and abilities in mind, including those with special needs. Our books encourage the development of important literacy, life and kinesthetic skills.
Formats, text and illustrative styles are carefully considered in order to appeal to and engage a multi-leveled readership and to support and complement key development areas.
Here are a few outstanding features that make Usborne Books ideal for children with special needs:
- Realistic "Talk-About" illustrations - filled with action, detail, and
visual stimulation
- Interactive books - encourage communication and active participation in the reading and learning experience
- Step-by-step features - perfect for sequencing, breaking concepts down into more manageable parts, and increasing understanding
- Problem-solving tasks - built into Usborne books at many levels as seen in our lift-the-flap books, puzzle adventure books, and slot books
- Activity-based learning - optimal for children with special learning needs
- Bite-sized pieces - information is arranged on the page in manageable bite-sized pieces, to increase attention, understanding, comprehension, and retention
- Multi-functional - one book can be used for a wide variety of learning needs and goals
- Reinforcement and repetition - our yellow Cartwright duck and white mouse are reinforcers used through many of our books
- High quality - Usborne books are durable and inexpensive. They are made to last, with sturdy bindings and acid-free pages
