‘Ideal for schools looking to replace or supplement their existing reading schemes.’ Topmarks Review Maverick Chapter Readers

Topmarks, one of the UK’s leading independent educational sites have reviewed our latest batch of Blue and Orange banded Early Readers, and a selection of Lime, Brown and Grey Chapter Readers;

We’ve just finished reading the latest releases to Maverick Publishing’s excellent Maverick Early Readers scheme and we’ve been delighted with them.

The additions to the scheme start at Blue Band (Level 4) through to the Chapter Readers which are Lime, Brown and Grey Bands (Level 11, 12 and 13). The grey band are designed so that children can make an easy transition to independent reading as they have from 3200 to 4500 words. We found all to be well written and, as we have come to expect from the Maverick books, superbly illustrated.

The stories of the Maverick Chapter books are original and have themes such as friendship, good versus bad, positive female role models and problem solving. They have characters that readers will easily be able to relate to. The books may also be a useful tool for teachers as exemplars of excellent descriptive writing in action.

We found the new Blue, Green, Orange and Turquoise Early Readers to be equally appealing with themes of problem solving, recycling, helpful characters, overcoming adversity and positive female role models.

These new titles are an excellent addition to the extensive range of over 200 Maverick books, many of which have free downloadable activity packs. We think the Maverick Early Readers and Chapter Readers are ideal for schools looking to replace or supplement their existing reading schemes.

Thanks, Sue and the team!
