This beloved learning library features beautiful artwork and photographs to capture the interest and imagination of very young children. Learning Ladders includes two curriculum-based, 10-volume sets centered on early childhood nonfiction topics. Learning Ladders is “highly recommended” by Catholic Library World, which calls the volumes “stunning.” The volumes can be used as read-alouds for pre-readers or for independent reading by older children.

Each volume in this richly visual learning library includes basic lessons tied closely to such early childhood nonfiction topics as animal babies, community helpers, dinosaurs, habitats, landforms, patterns in nature, plants, trucks, weather, and many more. The spreads include introductory text, colorful illustrations with detailed captions, and photographs that show real-world examples of the featured topic.

The Learning Ladders series is designed to reinforce reading skills and enlarge children’s vocabulary while introducing nonfiction topics. Text appears in large, clear type, and is carefully worded for this young audience. The concepts are supported by illustrations and photographs. The volumes also introduce the features found in textbooks and reference materials, such as a simple table of contents, a resource list for further reading, and an index. Puzzle pages, fun facts, and true/false quizzes appear at the end of each volume.
