What is an eBook?

An eBook (short for electronic book and also known as a digital book and e-book) is a book-length publication in digital form and produced on, published through, and readable on computers or other electronic devices. Some eBooks are read on dedicated hardware devices known as e-Readers or e-book devices (e.g. Kindle and iBooks on iPad). Personal computers and some mobile phones can also be used to read some eBooks.

I am already a subscriber - is it worth me buying an eBook?

The majority of the content of our eBooks is taken from worksheets and resources which are already on the website and available to you as a subscriber. However, the eBooks bring together resources so as to provide a logical teaching progression on a subject. Hence, you might feel that purchasing the eBook is a worthwhile investment so you have reference to a recommended graded programme of help for your child, which can be used over several years and is complementary to other resources available.
