Books & Resources

Hawker Brownlow Education's Interactive Whiteboard Resources are a series of levelled readers and activities that can be used by a whole class on an interactive whiteboard or by an individual student on a laptop. Each series is levelled with resources designed for children from pre-school to Year One.

This includes the series Sight Words, aimed at early readers, and covers inquiry, numeracy and science content based around a range of familiar topics. Rising Readers are for developing readers and are fictional stories based around nursery rhymes or short fictional tales.

Rising Readers: Animal Adventures are for developing readers and are stories based around short fictional tales. The precisely levelled readers integrate literacy with content instruction. Meet your literacy standards with these research-based, levelled books!

The Sight Word literacy readers have been divided into themes to introduce new concepts to children. The Science set introduces topics such as weather, health, plants and animals that engage the students while they are learning to read.
