On Your Marks

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.

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.

On your marks ...contains a wealth of poetry on the theme of sports, from football to long-distance running.
