Books for Topics aims to provide recommendations of high quality texts that can be used by teachers and other professionals working in primary schools. They’ve just enthusiastically reviewed our Early Readers scheme and this is what they had to say:
‘We’ve been testing out Maverick Early Readers for a few weeks now and we are already big fans! Covering book bands from pink to purple, this series takes readers from the earliest stages of letter recognition and beginning blending to basic fluency and comprehension skills. We like the way in which the stories contain simple introductory activities (such as letter tracing), key words, discussion ideas and fun comprehension quizzes. Our little readers loved the engaging style of the illustrations and the fun story lines that made a change from some of the more predictable stories in comparable early reading schemes. If you are looking for a breath of fresh air to top up your existing reading scheme, we recommend you give these a try!’
