Part of WOW! Fiction Turquoise. WOW! Fiction is a progressively levelled series of gripping and fast-paced stories which will captivate readers, whilst also remaining accessible for reluctant, struggling, and dyslexic readers. The stories are ideal for helping students improve their literacy skills and engaging those who have "switched off" from reading. The dyslexia-friendly design incorporates features to ensure success and build reading confidence as students will move rapidly through the short engaging stories.
WOW! Fiction follows on from our best-selling WOW! Facts series and each book is paired with a non-fiction counterpart on the same theme such as Exploring Space, Ancient Egypt or Fighter Planes. Combining fiction and non-fiction books helps reluctant readers explore diverse interests and foster a passion for reading, regardless of their usual preferences
