The Benefits of Reading Aloud to Your Child

bullet

Reading to children at a higher level than they read introduces them to new words and ideas, and accelerates their reading progress.

bullet

Children who are read to at least three times a week are almost twice as likely to score in the top 25% on standardized tests than those who are read to less than three times a week.

bullet

Reading to your child creates a lasting bond between you an your child.  

A child spends 900 hours a year in school and 7,800 hours at home.   Parents are a child's primary teacher, with the most important role in their education!

We are committed to sharing the importance of reading aloud to children with parents everywhere!  We are also committed to providing parents and educators with irresistible, unique, and affordable books for libraries at home and at school.  

Come join us!

More representatives are needed to sell children's books from Usborne and Kane/Miller in all fifty states.  How great is the need?  There are less than 350 supervisors in the entire United States, and many states have only a few supervisors.   States with less than one supervisor per million in state population include Arizona, New York, Texas, Louisiana, Alabama, Michigan, Arkansas, California, Mississippi, Kansas, Nevada, Florida, West Virginia, Oklahoma, Connecticut, New Jersey, Hawaii, Oregon, and Pennsylvania.  States with less than one supervisor per half million in state population include New Mexico, Montana, Maryland, North Carolina, Delaware, Tennessee, Georgia, Illinois, Maine, North Dakota, Vermont, Missouri, Wisconsin, and Wyoming.  Not a single state has more than one supervisor per 100,000 in state population.  Find out more about the unlimited opportunity with Usborne Books & More, or download a business information packet

EDUCATIONAL DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION ANNOUNCES RECORD THIRD QUARTER FISCAL 2010 RESULTS
TULSA, OK, January 14, 2010

Educational Development Corporation (NASDAQ: EDUC) (http://www.edcpub.com) today reported results for the third quarter and first nine months of fiscal 2010, ended November 30, 2009. EDUC reports record sales and earnings for the quarter ended November 30, 2009 with net revenue of $10,016,400 compared to $9,388,200 and net earnings of $925,100 compared to $649,500 for the same period last year.

The Publishing Division continues to experience a record year for sales to retail outlets, with July sales the largest single sales month in our history and another near-record month in September. Net revenues for this division increased $1,100,000 during the nine month period ending November 30, 2009 when compared with the same nine-month period a year ago. We attribute this to a 38% increase in sales to major national accounts and 21% increase for independent retailers and specialized markets.

The Home Business Division, after incurring an 18% decline in revenue during the first six months, made a terrific recovery in the third quarter to nearly equal the sales in the same period last year.

The combination of the improved results in the two divisions was responsible for the record results for the Company.
