Livewire Non Fiction
2 total works
Stimulating and accessible, the titles in the LIVEWIRE series have been produced in association with The Basic Skills Agency to ensure a non-patronising approach towards the requirements of readers with special needs. They provide teenagers/adult interest level fiction and non-fiction for those with reading ages below 10, or adult students learning English as a second language. Each book is graded at one of the following reading ages: 6-7, 7-8, 8-9 or 9-10. All LIVEWIRE books are written by qualified Special Needs teachers, and are expertly assessed and subtly colour-coded for the appropriate reading age. The books in the LIVEWIRE MAGAZINE strand contain various articles, quizzes and letters that readers might find in a trade magazine. Football Mag has articles on football history, football tactics and famous male and female footballers, and contains jokes and facts and a football quiz.
Stories of bravery and danger: accounts of the extraordinary achievements of Ernest Shackleton, George Mallory and Amy Johnson.
