Thunderbolts

Thunderbolts

By David and Helen Orme

A series of levelled reading books covering popular non-fiction topics, with particular appeal to older readers. Twenty-four stunning, full-colour titles offer progression over four levels:

  1. Set 1 has no words, allowing readers with the greatest difficulty to engage.
  2. Set 2 introduces a limited number of words.
  3. Sets 3 and 4 offer further progression.
  4. The books in Set 4 are high enough to have been levelled for AR.

With strong, colourful photographs and illustrations throughout, these books are ideal for engaging older, struggling readers and building their confidence in reading. Accompanying workbooks are also available.

"Honestly the Thunderbolts series is amazing... Students with very little English have been entranced by the high quality photos. Other students have loved the wide range of topics - science and animals always seem winners. I love seeing bored faces crack into smiles when I lay the books out on the table."
