Robinswood Press High Interest Readers |
| Proven techniques include controlled reading levels every 100 words- a student who can read page one can read every page of the story. |
| Whilst each title in the High Interest Series from Robinswood is meticulously developed, and designed and laid out with great care to really work with any reader, then extensively tested and refined in the classroom, you’d never know that it was anything but a regular book! |
The books are available in two series –a range of 10 titles for Primary School ages (8- 12) Reading age 7-8, and 24 titles for Teenagers (Interest age 11-15), reading ages 7-8, 8-9, & 9-10. And every book has a corresponding Teachers’ Handbook full of activities to enable dynamic and creative comprehension of the story in the classroom. |
