In January 2015 DK launched DKfindout! - a global education website
for children, parents and teachers that brought DK’s distinctive visual
approach to the internet. The website
saw over 400,000 sessions in May this year and this number continues to grow
rapidly. Due to the website’s rich content, engaging visuals and core
educational information, the site has seen 1.7 million sessions this year alone,
with close to 2 million users, and more than 11.4 million page views.
This summer, DK will launch the DKfindout! brand in print, with six brand
new DKfindout! books on key
educational and high interest homework topics for children aged 6-9. The new titles
are: DKfindout! Ancient Rome
Each book is bursting with cool facts,
amazing images, quizzes and key information bringing each topic to life. Throughout
the process of making the new series, parents and educators have been asked for
feedback and most importantly, children have been consulted to ensure the
content is exactly right for the readership.
Not only are these books engaging and
attention-grabbing, this innovative series will provide children with a unique
learning experience when it comes to homework support. Each book has been
designed in a way that allows readers to navigate their way through the content
in a way that suits them, similar to how dkfindout.com works. The graphics are
fresh and simple and sit perfectly alongside new photography and illustrations.
Traditional subjects have been made fun, exciting and inspirational, providing
an alternative way for children to learn through the use of flaps, child
friendly charts, quizzes, diagrams and exclusive interviews with key experts
which give a first-person insight into each subject.
Sarah Larter, Publisher for DKfindout! says, “2016 marks the start
of this new, exciting series. We have 12
new titles planned for 2017 and will continue to grow the series further,
creating a colourful library of pocket-money priced books on topics that
children love. Not only will the series provide a huge offering to children
looking for support and information on homework assignments, the DKfindout! series will help kids become
experts on their favorite topics. The books are vibrant, shiny and glossy and
not an inch of the inside pages or the cover is wasted.”
Titles coming in 2017: Stone Age, Sharks, Pirates, Ancient
Egypt, Human Body, Earth, World War II and Amphibians
and Reptiles.
DKfindout! Enjoyed by
children, trusted by parents, recommended by teachers, made by DK.
