Trailblazers

The "Trailblazers" series has been written for older children and Teenagers with a reading age of 5 - 8. The books are suitable for general reading or as part of a more structured reading programme.

Each book is on a strong, popular topic, with a colourful, attractive layout, combining fact and fiction. The fiction story appears in two formats - one with simple texts for poor readers; the facing pages contain an illustrated "speech bubble" version of the same story, for those who are just starting to learn to read. These two levels of entry give access points for children and young adults with different reading ages.

The vocabulary of each book is carefully limited, with simple sentences to reinforce reading skills, which make the books suitable for even the poorest readers.
"Comets" investigates topics such as 'Meterorites from Mars' and the end of the dinosaurs. In the science fiction story 'Doom from Space' planet earth is threatened by a massive comet.
"Dinosaur!" explores the world of the dinosaurs. Which dinosaurs were the most dangerous? In the fiction story 'The Land Time Forgot' the dinosaur hunters find more than they bargained for.

The books include:

• Simple, carefully written text providing access for even the poorest readers;
• Two levels and formats to cater for different reading ages;
• Each book has a non fiction and a fiction section.
• Attractive layouts and the combination of fact and fiction ensure this series will have broad appeal;
• Software and Teacher's Notes support educational use.
