Publisher's Synopsis
The LIVEWIRE series is aimed at struggling teenage and adult readers with reading ages of between 6 and 10 years old. The reading books have been developed by Hodder & Stoughton in association with The Basic Skills Agency to provide the very best fiction and non-fiction for struggling readers.
The teacher's resources to accompany the LIVEWIRE series consist of worksheets that are divided into four sets, according to the reading age they provide work on (6-7, 7-8, 8-9 and 9-10 years). These teacher's resources provide busy teachers with a host of photocopiable masters, as well as advice on how to use the LIVEWIRE series and work with struggling readers.
Each of the photocopiable sheets provides quality follow-up work on one of the titles in the LIVEWIRE series. The titles have either one or two sheets of extension materials to accompany them. These activities will help students to develop the wide range of essential reading, writing and comprehension skills required by the National Curriculum. They also offer opportunities to improve students' use of spelling, grammar and puntuation.
