Online BooksQuote from Francis White “ In my opinion, some of these books will be useful to use for both Small Stars and High Flyers (especially those not currently involved in the Graphic Reader series).   Allowing them all to be introduced to some basic reading skills, other than that provided from the current HF text books.   Maybe during such classes as Lifeclubs these could be made available. Alternatively, if they do not provide any classroom assistance, they may in some way introduce alternative sources for future projects or assignments.”
