How it Began
In 2010 a young mother and published author from Bradford, UK, teamed up with a small group of like-minded people passionate about children’s education, to launch a unique and seminal product to cater for Muslim families. Little Explorers Magazine is a creative resource aimed at children from all walks of life, to help them to understand more about Islam in a fun and engaging manner.
At the heart of Little Explorers is the desire to instill the love for reading as the channel to develop a thirst for life-long learning, in keeping with Islamic tradition of Iqra! It does this by giving children articles that match their interests, as well as supporting the national curriculum.
Children’s magazines have also become recognised as essential additions to the library as more schools across the UK attempt to boost literacy rates. Research undertaken by the National Literacy Trust, involving 18,000 children and young people, has shown that magazines are a powerful medium for encouraging reading amongst children who do not otherwise read as a pastime.
