We deliver interesting and enjoyable stories for the young minds across the UAE, igniting their love for English reading and encouraging independent exploration.
Discover the beauty of Emirati culture with exciting reading adventures.
Shifting Sands Learning offers English reading resources with stories for young minds in the UAE, designed to ignite a love for reading and encourage independent exploration.
Our books have been developed with decades of experience from the education system from all around the world, including the UAE, South Africa, the UK, and Australia.
Research involving teachers, schools, and educational websites has shown that more voluntary reading, particularly related to a child’s heritage, improves their writing skills and styles, their comprehension ability, and a child’s vocabulary and spelling.
The books start with four introductory levels, beginning with pre-reading skills for 3-4 year olds and progressing to proficient reader books.
The illustrations in the books are based on Emirati culture, landmarks, and buildings, aiming to connect with local readers and share the UAE’s beauty with the world.
Each level features an animal from the UAE as a mascot, incorporating fun facts about these animals to promote conservation awareness.
We are experts in pre-reading and early learning. Our books incorporate our experience from many years of research and teaching children to read.
Your child can experience the magic of learning to read and learn about Emirati culture through our book series! We’re on a mission to share beauty, diversity, and culture through amazing reading adventures.
Our books can be purchased through our online shop with a free collection service or local delivery within Abu Dhabi for 20 Dhs.
For all other emirates including Ajman, Dubai, Fujairah, Ras Al Khaimah, Sharjah, and Umm Al Quwain, a 40 Dhs delivery fee applies.
Buy one reading set of 12 books for 239 Dhs and get a FREE limited edition book bag.
Our journey has begun with 48 books across four reading levels, but we’re not going to stop there! We are planning to release eight additional reading levels, that's an extra 96 books, so we are excited to be embarking on this journey together."
