This is part of a series of fiction for 11-14 year olds with reading ages of 6-9 years. The storybooks are carefully graded into four levels, using the Fry reading scale, and range from 400-3000 words in length. Built-in progression, through story length, language level and conceptual loading, allows reluctant readers to increase their reading skills and stamina gradually. The stories range across the genres of mystery, fantasy, romance, true stories, crime and horror. Each level is supported by a Teacher's Book and three cassettes.
