STERLING EDUCATION IN ACTION Our goal is to not only produce great Educational Books and Content, but also to help work with Educators around the world to tailor our products to specific markets. Our first steps were made in 2008 with Teacher Training Seminars.

Sterling Teacher Training Seminar Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam - September 2008 As part of our committment to raising the profile of Sterling’s Educational series we organized our first Exclusive Teacher Training Seminar with Fahasa in Vietnam.

Opposite are pictures from the Seminar. Over 100 teachers attended the 2 hour seminar and question and answer session. In response to the seminar a wide range of books are now used in the Education System in Ho Chi Minh City and beyond.

Teacher Training Seminar Jakarta, Indonesia - January 2008 In conjunction with Java Books we helped to organize a Teacher Training Seminar in Jakarta. Along with Sterling there were presentations from Scholastic, Random House and Macmillan. Sterling’s participation in this Seminar was a huge step in raising the profile of our Educational Series. Since the Seminar the sales of our core series have increased significantly in Indonesia. We have also opened direct contact with schools that allows us to get feedback on how we should develop our series and improve our content.

The Future We continue to look for opportunities to work with Educators and Booksellers around the world to provide support in using our books. If you would like to discuss the possibility of collaborating in a project we would love to hear from you!

lassic 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 been 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 makes 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)

The classics we have adapted so far are: The Jungle Book, Adventures of Tom Sawyer, Story of Doctor Doolittle, Treasure Island and Wind in the Willows. We will be adding more stories to these collections in 2010.

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.

TM

This book encourages: • early visual activity • visual stimulation • focusing, tracking, scanning • object recognition • bonding • motor skills www.beginsmartbooks.com expert advice • support • parent tips

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.

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.

COMING 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.

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.
