Each of the "A Visit To.." books is aimed at nine-year-old reluctant readers. Focusing on India, this book considers its climate, food, landmarks, location on the globe, transport, dress, recreation, celebrations and involvement in the arts. The text is part of the "Take-Off" series, which is designed to be used with children of the age of nine who are struggling to achieve the levels of literacy expected of their age. The titles chosen are based on best-selling titles within existing Heinemann Library series and meet all Key Stage 2 requirements for their subject. The National Literacy Strategy emphasizes that children with special educational needs should work, wherever possible, with their peers within the Literacy Hour. The aim is to use structured, intensive teaching to enable as many children as possible eventually to work at the appropriate level for their age.
