Seas and Oceans

This text is designed to provide a study of the subject of seas and oceans for nine-year-olds with special educational needs. It is part of the "Take-Off" series which is aimed at children who are struggling to achieve the levels of literacy expected for their age. The titles chosen have been based on best-selling titles within existing Heinemann Library series and meet all Key Stage 2 requirements for their subject. The National Literacy Strategy emphasizes that children with special educational needs should work, wherever possible, with their peers within the Literacy Hour. The aim is to use structured, intensive teaching to enable as many children as possible eventually to work at the appropriate level for their age.
