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.
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 REAL LIVES strand contain fascinating stories of popular music stars, famous Hollywood actors, TV personalities and top sports people. REAL LIVES DAVID BECKHAM tells the story of one of the most famous footballers in the world.
