The National Literacy Strategy emphasises that children with special educational needs should work, wherever possible, with their peers within the Literacy Hour. The aim is to use structured, intensive teaching to enable as many children as possible eventually to work at the appropriate level for their age. The Take-Off! series is designed to be used with children of about 9 who are struggling to achieve the levels of literacy expected for their age. The titles chosen have been based on best-selling titles within existing Heinemann Library series and meet all KS2 requirements for their subject.
