298s

298s is an exciting series of 40 books designed to engage students from the very first page. The stories are contemporary, positive, fast-paced and adventurous.


Zebras

Zebras is a superb collection of 40 non-fiction chapter books that will inform and entertain students. Designed for students who prefer reading non-fiction titles, this series is ideal for guided and independent reading.


Message Stick

Message Stick is a series of 12 books that focus on Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander cultural traditions and practices. Within the series, there are six traditional dreaming stories (including plays) and six non-fiction texts.


Journeys in Critical Literacy

Journeys in Critical Literacy helps students learn how to access and interpret all forms of texts, from stage plays to comic strips, and then analyse the texts for deeper meaning.


Chill Out

Chill Out books are short, sharp, easy reads. The subject matter and chapter book format appeal to 11-12 year olds, but the texts are levelled at a reading age of 6.5-8.5 years. The 20 titles will appeal to students who are turned off reading, but who aren't necessarily poor readers.


Cockatoo Island

Cockatoo Island introduces the concepts of citizenship and living in democracy. It is designed for students in middle to upper primary. On Cockatoo Island, students experience the challenges of living in a diverse society where everyone has rights and responsibilities.
