The dragon test

Inventively illustrated in just two colours, these stylish first readers use several different media - posters, letters, video diary - to tell stories about subjects with strong child appeal, such as football, giants, dragons and highwaymen.

Ideal for use in the classroom as well as at home, this new series fits guidelines in the Literacy Strategy, which recommend using different media and sources to teach children to read.

Written and illustrated by top contemporary authors and artists, Walker Starters make the perfect starting point for early readers.
