Publisher's Synopsis
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.
Appropriate and interesting for teenagers and adults alike, the books in the LIVEWIRE series successfully engage the attention of the reader and gradually lead him/her towards the attainment of a higher reading ability. All LIVEWIRE books are written by qualified Special Needs teachers, and are expertly assessed and subtly colour-coded for the appropriate reading age.
LIVEWIRE PLAYS is a series of exciting plays about the issues, dramas and challenges of being young. In DOING MACBETH, Ben, Tom, Alice and Kirsty decide to update the witches' spell. After all, who wants to read about newts' eyes?
