Description
Arthur has no thoughts of being king - he's a squire and that's that. But the old king is dead and Merlin the wizard has set up a sword, pushed halfway into a rock. The one who pulls out the sword will be the new king - and soon, that's Arthur! Follow King Arthur as he battles giants and knights, and learns to be a true king.
King Arthur is part of High Low series which encourage and support reading practice by providing gripping, age-appropriate and illustrated stories for struggling and reluctant readers, those with dyslexia, or those with English as an additional language (EAL). With bonus bits at the back of the book, including reading notes and exciting facts, these are perfect for sparking discussion and engaging young readers. Printed on tinted paper with a dyslexia-friendly font, King Arthur is aimed at readers aged 10+ and has a manageable length (96 pages) and reading age (8+).
Produced in association with reading experts at Catch Up, a charity which aims to address underachievement caused by literacy and numeracy difficulties.

This is brilliant!
This book is the perfect read for reluctant readers or readers with dyslexia to help them enter the world of King Arthur. The stories are told in a simple way, but they still retain their excitement. I thought the pronunciation guide at the beginning of the book was a really nice touch too. I think it's really important that stories like this are accessible for reluctant and dyslexic readers.
