Super 12 Stories are engaging, colourfully illustrated stories suitable for those who love to read; those who struggle to read or; those who want to build on and improve forming english sentences. For example, all stories are written to 12 reading levels, so for Bull Run at Level 1 the first sentence is: 'Warm. Wait.' By Level 12, this same sentence has been gradually extended to 'Mozos jump up and down and do a variety of warm up and stretching exercises as they patiently, albeit anxiously, wait behind a line of police for the sound of a rocket to go off signalling that the bulls have finally been released from their corral.' Over the course of the 12 reading levels of Bull Run, the reader can experience incremental increases in sentence complexity. They learn which words go together naturally and how english sentences are structured. All the stories are written by a native english speaker.As a follow up, readers can express their own version of the story in the Colouring & Writing book which accompanies each title. The reader can practice writing their story using words learned and re-tell their story using their own illustrations. The Audio Book allows the reader to experience intonation in the narrative which will greatly aid speaking and listening.

He used to sit at the door of the local barbershop just to listen to the men talk about it.He had been practicing bullfighting for some time, but without a real animal. Finally his opportunity came when he was only fifteen. That day his best friend got hurt by a bull’s horns. But how would Rico react now that it was his turn?
