Teaneck, New Jersey – January 7, 2008 – Kumon Publishing is proud to announce that Turnaround Publishing Services will distribute their educational books in the UK and across Europe. After solidifying their status as a leading educational workbook publisher in North America, Kumon Publishing has set its sights on opening up markets globally.

Kumon Workbooks are based on the Kumon Method, which breaks skills down to manageable increments in order to make learning easy and fun for children. All Kumon books are made of high-quality material in order to stand up to rough treatment from young hands. Their full-color pages, combined with exciting activities and a strong method, have been met with considerable enthusiasm to date.

The foundation of Kumon Publishing’s editorial list in America is made up of their pre-school Kumon Workbook series, the number one workbook series at Barnes & Noble bookstores. They have gone on to publish a set of First Steps Workbooks that are designed to be a two-year-old’s first workbook, as well as Write & Wipe Flash Cards, 3-D Paper Crafts, and motivational titles for young and old.

These titles have won awards and created a buzz that has opened doors for the emerging educational publisher. Most major book retailers in North America prominently feature their books, from Barnes & Noble and Borders to Target and Costco.

The Kumon Method also helps more than 4 million children learn math and reading at Kumon Learning Centers worldwide. These Learning Centers were started by a parent in Japan in 1950, and have steadily grown ever since. The global Kumon umbrella reaches to 44 countries around the globe today.

Kumon Publishing is very excited about the coming year, when they can say, with confidence, that Kumon Workbooks are coming soon – to a store near you!
