Ant Books

Ant Books We provide a range of educational material for Grade R-Grade 7, in English, maths and Afrikaans 2nd language. ANT BOOKS turned 15 this June! Happy teaching!

We also have a growing number of TUTORING CENTRES in Durban, Howick, Gauteng and Mpumalanga offering extra lessons in the above subjects. For 15 years we have been providing teachers, both in schools and in homes, with quality, 'teacher friendly' and reasonably-priced material in English, Afrikaans and maths. All the Ant Books are based on the government curriculum (an advantage should a home-scho

oled child return to a school) and ensure a comprehensive coverage of all aspects of the subjects. Susan Parfitt developed the Ant Books. A primary school teacher, she recognised the need for material in the primary school and started writing a few books. She is still writing...providing material for teachers and parents as they require it. The Ant Books are popular for many reasons, most importantly because they are designed to TEACH, not just test, or 'keep children busy'. Ant Books has developed a curriculum for home-schoolers - based on demand from parents - and their children - who have come to love and depend upon the Ant Books as their core programme. And if you're looking for Afrikaans...you still can't beat our Programme! Read more about it on our website, www.antbooks.co.za, or email us on [email protected].

๐Ÿ“š We have a problemโ€ฆ and we canโ€™t afford to ignore it.
What happens when a child reaches high school but still struggles to read, understand what theyโ€™re reading, or express themselves confidently?
And perhaps an even bigger question:
How did we get here โ€” and what can we do about it?
Sue from Ant Books shares her honest thoughts on the literacy challenges facing South African children and why we need to rethink the way we approach learning.
Because reading isnโ€™t just another school subject.
๐Ÿ‘‰ Reading is the foundation for learning EVERYTHING else.
And when that foundation is weak, the consequences can follow a child for years.
๐ŸŽฅ Watch Sueโ€™s full video and let us know what you think.
๐Ÿ’ฌ Do you believe we are doing enough to help children become confident readers?

How Ant Books Began ๐Ÿœ๐Ÿ“šโค๏ธ
Every successful journey starts with a dreamโ€ฆ and sometimes, with a little ant! ๐Ÿœ
In this video, Sue shares the story behind Ant Books โ€” how an idea, a passion for helping children learn, and a desire to make a real difference developed into the Ant Books educational programme we know today.
What started with a few lessons and a determination to help children succeed grew into carefully designed workbooks, learning programmes and ultimately a franchise opportunity for people who share the same passion for education.
๐Ÿ“š A journey built on experience.
โค๏ธ A passion for children.
๐Ÿœ A little ant that became something much bigger!
Watch Sue tell the story of how Ant Books started and why the journey continues today.

Did you know that being left-handed can influence the way a child learns, writes and interacts with the world around them?
Today, Sue from Ant Books shares some helpful information about left-handed children โ€” including a simple way to observe whether a young child may naturally favour their left hand.
โœ๏ธ If you're a parent, teacher or caregiver, this is definitely worth watching!
Remember, thereโ€™s no โ€œwrongโ€ hand โ€” every child is wonderfully unique. ๐Ÿ’š๐Ÿœ
