Dr. Schuppert Press

How the books teach

Dr. Schuppert Press publishes children's books first, language courses second. If the story isn't good, nobody turns the page.

  1. 1

    Mirrored pages

    Every spread tells the same moment in two languages, so the reader always has something to hold on to.

  2. 2

    Word boxes

    A few key words per chapter get a small box: what they mean, how they sound, when to use them.

  3. 3

    Characters who return

    The same children appear in every book of a series. Vocabulary builds as the friendship does.

  4. 4

    Read-aloud audio

    eBooks include native-speaker recordings of every page, for parents who don't yet speak the language either.

  5. 5

    For grown-ups too

    Many of our readers are parents and grandparents learning alongside the children. That's by design.

Rooted in community

Dr. Schuppert Press is committed to South African communities and the languages spoken in them.
