Review

Very appropriate reading level. Very valuable as a stepping stone to Stage 10 (Mrs E Hill. Head - Plymouth Hyde Park Infants School)

Very useful. Children feel more grown-up with these than following the core reading books (Mrs Gael Haslett - Richmond Primary School)

More please (Miss Cairnduff - Lit coordinator - Sullivan Upper Preparatory Dept)
