Ice Orcs - The Ice Orcs
eBook
These were previously published by Oxford University Press in the Headwork series of readers. The stories were written by Michael Thomson who now retains the copyright and is self publishing them for you!The stories are so called “High-Low” readers. That is of high interest but low reading age, or in other words with normal comprehension levels but easier to ‘decode’ or read. They were tried out on children at East Court, a school for dyslexic children and are aimed at an interest level of around 11-14. There are a range of genres from contemporary through fantasy, humour and true 2nd world war stories. They are written in 4 levels of basic reading difficulty starting around the 8 year reading age with level 1 being the easiest to read. However, the themes and interest level are all still at the 11-14 age range. This is Level 1 in a previously unpublished “High Low” fantasy trilogy. Fantasy stories are very popular for all ages, often in the best seller lists. For some readers this rich source of adventure is closed. This trilogy proposal is based on characters living in ‘Darkling Lands’ . It has the usual fantasy theme of Warriors, Magic, Elves, Dwarves and Dragons and these with characters types, readily identifiable in the fantasy context by readers, appeal to a very wide age range in this key area of fictional interest. However the content is mainly aimed at the 11 to late teen market, with reading levels at around the 8/9 year level. The fantasy short stories are also set in Darkling Lands and one of the stories has the same characters.
