Sister Companies Let’s Look and Raptor Publishing (established 1998 & 2003 respectively) are Educational Publishers based in two of the major centres in South Africa, Johannesburg and Pretoria and a newly established office in the United Kingdom is the latest addition. Plans to set up in Dubai in the very near future are very much on the cards.
We design, create, publish and print educational materials which are based on current mainstream educational curricula. Our current range of product comprises resource materials including wall charts, wooden puzzles, height charts, wall trimmers, flip charts, readers, globes and biological models.
The past 12 years has seen nothing but success for Lets Look & Raptor Publishers. From modest beginnings as an educational distributor and packager we are now recognised as one of Africa’s leading publishers of specialised educational resource materials with a range of over 600 products ranging from Early Learning and Life Skills to Statistics and Chemistry.
We are highly successful in producing learner resource materials and our core expertise lies in the production of resources and Learning Support Materials for a discerning education market. We have a highly creative team of designers who consult with editors and various subject specialists internationally. Raptor Creative (our in-house design company) has a primary function to develop state of the art IP for uses within our complete product range both for local and emerging international markets.
By combining excellence in graphic design with university backed text research, we supply materials to individuals, schools, colleges, Government Departments and NGO’s throughout Africa and beyond. Demand for our products is certainly far reaching and our publications reflect the complex and wide-ranging needs of the modern educator, learner, parent and child. 30% of all learners in an average classroom learn visually. Our children respond to colourful, bright images and meaningful text linked to these images helps in the learning process. New concepts are more easily remembered and understood. Wall charts are one of the best teaching resources because they can be renewed and reviewed daily; they help keep the learning environment vibrant and interesting and stimulate response.
Lets Look & Raptor supply African & European Departments of Education as well as our own local National Department. Our range of products can be seen in most schools, homes, crèches, colleges and educational institutions.
The retail sector is an equally important market for us. We supply hundreds of bookstores countrywide who sell our products to schools as well as parents who buy our products for home use. Many of our products are very much suited to the Retail Market.
Lets Look & Raptor jointly procure exclusive rights and co-editions for niche educational type material which can be used within the borders of Africa and beyond. Current rights include AWF, Barney and a host of others. |
