The Ben Learns series introduces early readers to entrepreneurial values such as being creative, self-reliant, a team player, etc. The collection helps develop self-confidence along with social and interdisciplinary skills. The series implements several strategies to help children decode words and understand meaning: silent letters and complex sounds are indicated, there is a glossary for vocabulary words, and illustrations help guide the narrative. The collection encourages active learning: readers must contribute to Ben’s project by giving him the key (the word) that will solve his problems or help his friends solve theirs. With endearing characters, evocative storylines, and careful attention to pedagogical tools, Ben Learns is a collection that has it all!

Featuring...

  • A familiar character (also appearing in Julie’s Notebook and Little Entrepreneurs comics)
  • An initiation to entrepreneurial values
  • Pedagogical tools to help early readers (complex sounds and silent letters)
  • Fun stories that feature real-life problems 24 titles in the series to this day
