Books with author Miranda Ashwell

Designed for the less-able pupil, this series provides simplified versions of the three "Geography in Action" pupil books. The text covers and reinforces essential content and is presented in a manageable format. Factfile boxes on each spread summarize and consolidate important information, while diagrams and illustrations have been simplified to aid understanding. Each pupil book is accompanied by a teacher's resource pack containing worksheets to help pupils understand and consolidate the concepts and skills covered in the books. Guidance for the teacher on how to use the books is also provided. Three evaluation packs containing the pupil book and teacher's resource pack from each level are also available.

A pack of four texts studying geological features - volcanoes, caves, islands and coral reefs - for nine-year-olds with special educational needs. They are 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 books chosen have been based on best-selling titles within existing Heinemann Library series and meet all Key Stage 2 requirements for the subject area. 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 to work at the appropriate level for their age.
