Compiled by Pam Mordecai (First Book) and Zellynne Jennings-Wray (Second and Third Books), this series of three readers will be welcomed by teachers looking for interesting and challenging reading material for children in the upper grades of primary and preparatory and the lower grades of secondary and high schools.

This book, written for “teachers at the primary and secondary level who are having to cope with disabled readers, for teachers in training and for the harried parents of the child with reading disabilities”, focuses on the pupil who fails to benefit from traditional procedures used to teach reading—in other words the child who will “neither 7 nor 11”.
