Engage your most reluctant ad struggling readers with Barrington Stoke's lowest reading age, 8 full-colour titles for primary children.
The Acorns are super-short stories of 500 words or less that pack an impressive punch. A punch that offers readers all the complexity, wit, wisdom and emotional engagement of fiction at its best. A few hundred words by a top-flight storyteller – words enhanced by stunning colour artwork – can transport and delight the reader just as well as a few hundred thousand.
This pack features some of the best authors in the business, including Michael Morpurgo, Catherine MacPhail, Michael Rosen and Alexander McCall Smith. From thrills and chills to adventure and laugh-out-loud humour, there’s something for everyone with these eight fantastic stories.
NB. If any title in this set is temporarily unavailable, we may substitute it for another title in the Acorn Readers series, i.e. at the same reading level.
