On the rob

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.

Each book is graded at one of the following reading ages: 6-7, 7-8, 8-9 or 9-10.

All LIVEWIRE books are written by qualified Special Needs teachers, and are expertly assessed and subtly colour-coded for the appropriate reading age.

LIVEWIRE YOUTH FICTION is a series of exciting stories about the issues, dramas and challenges of being young.
