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 INVESTIGATES is a series of thrilling accounts of dream careers, sports and extreme sports, disasters and catastrophes, strange mysteries, and the natural world. Urban Myths explains this phenomenon and then details a number of weird and funny tales.
