Reviews and comments

"At last! A special needs publisher with vision. I've been waiting for these books for years, and they have now filled a huge gap for teachers and students in literacy and PSHE . The everyday situations described are a real breakthrough and students in this age group can see at a glance that they are appropriate and relevant to their lives and they really like them. Put simply, these are the best KS4 books on the market... by far." Kelso Peel, KS4 Coordinator, Redwood Special School, Rochdale

"Really useful and excellent for stimulating discussion. We use them a lot." Neil Thompson, Literacy Coordinator, Lancaster School, Westcliff-On-Sea, Essex
