Real Radio

Real Radio, the school radio station, is all set to go. That is until Dean, one of the crew, pulls out the wrong plug by mistake. The team are left with their hopes dashed, as the Head Teacher loses his report and pulls the plug on them. But then Kate has an idea that might just save the show... This hi-lo series for struggling and reluctant readers has been written for children aged between 8 and 14 years, whose current reading age is 7.5 to 8.5 years. These age-appropriate short reads have 32 pages and are written by brilliant authors writing stories with relatable characters. They use a large font size, and the language and sentence structure are intentionally written so that students who are reading behind their chronological age can succeed in reading them. The series has plenty of practice at one level, allowing consolidation of learning before moving on to more challenging reads.
