Goldie Locked!
"I hate having no breakfast!" cried Baby Bear. " I hate making the beds every day!" added Mama Bear. " And I hate mending broken chairs!" said Papa Bear. "ENOUGH IS ENOUGH"
Each Once Upon Another Time... tale has been tweaked to enchant and amuse a modern audience, including a princess who prefers frogs to princes, an intergalactic Red Riding Hood, Goldilocks the vandal, a ragtag band of characters forming a superhero league and more. The balanced combination of low word count with imaginative plots ensures that reluctant readers are stimulated and drawn in to stories that they can realistically comprehend, providing much needed confidence going forwards.
This hi-lo series for struggling and reluctant readers has been written for children aged between 10 and 13 years, whose current reading age is between 6 and 7 years. These age-appropriate short reads have 32 pages and are written by accomplished authors writing stories with relatable characters. They incorporate a large font size and text separated into bite-sized chunks, along with carefully considered letter and paragraph spacing that can reduce visual stress. The series has plenty of practice at one level, allowing consolidation of learning before moving on to more challenging reads. The vocabulary list of tricky words can aid comprehension before reading the book.
