Publisher of books with audio support for elementary schools

The publisher focuses on supporting children with reading difficulties in elementary school. In addition to standard AVI-level books, the publisher offers reading books with accompanying audio support: students read a physical book while simultaneously listening to the recorded text online, offered to elementary schools on a subscription basis. The publisher has built a strong reputation in this niche and sells its publications directly to libraries and elementary schools, supplemented by limited sales to bookstores through standard book distribution channels.

Business Activities
The books with audio support are produced using a proprietary method, in which students read a physical book while simultaneously listening to the narrated text via an online platform. These publications are suitable for students who struggle with reading—for example, due to dyslexia—and for children whose first language is not Dutch.

The publishing house releases several dozen of its own titles each year. To do so, it purchases the rights from foreign publishers and has the books translated to a specific AVI level. These reading books are sold both individually and with accompanying audio support. In addition, in collaboration with a number of publishers, a similar number of Dutch titles with audio support are published each year.
