"Letters to Edward" is a collection of formal and informal letters to a nine-year-old boy, written for a range of purposes. Building on the "Pelican Big Books" series, this series is designed to fulfil National Literacy Strategy teaching objectives, with texts for use in guided reading sessions, and emphasising the partnership between reading and writing. Each book is divided into three sections at different reading levels to enable it to be used with groups of differing ability. Each pack of six books contains a free 24pp teacher's book.
