This special needs story book is aimed at reluctant readers at Key Stage 3. It uses large print and illustrations to encourage readers at this very low level, and each story has no more than 800 words. It is part of the "Headwork Reading Foundation Level" series which begins at a level below Level 1. The "Foundation Level Stories" are part of the third wave of "Headwork Reading" - special needs reading resources for Key Stage 3. They offer 350-450 words per story in pack A and 650-800 words per story in pack B at reading ages of 6-7. Progression of reading stamina is provided between packs A and B which themselves act as stepping stones to Level 1 stories already published.
