Wally and Co

This is one of the twelve new titles for 2001, in the "Spirals" range, one of the most popular and successful series for reluctant readers.

High interest plots and storylines - with themes that do not patronize or talkdown to reluctant readers - encourage re-reading and further reading.

The task of reading is made more attractive by eye catching cover designs, paperback style binding, and the absence of related activities and exercises.

A sense of accomplishment is felt by reluctant readers as they complete whole texts with short, but substantial, chapters and without the aid of illustration.

A controlled reading age of 7 and 8, and an accessible page layout with, clear, well-spaced type enable lower achievers to improve their reading at their own pace.
