Barrington Stoke Transition Fiction

Transition Fiction van Barrington Stoke

Barrington Stoke biedt onder het label 'Transition Fiction' een selectie van boeken die speciaal zijn ontwikkeld om jonge lezers te begeleiden naar het lezen van langere, complexere teksten. Deze overgangsboeken zijn ideaal voor kinderen die net te oud zijn voor beginnende leesboeken, maar voor wie een reguliere jeugdroman nog een te grote stap betekent.

Kenmerken Transition Fiction:

Overgang van korte naar langere verhalen, met behoud van toegankelijke taal.
Gericht op kinderen vanaf circa 9 jaar, voor wie traditionele romans vaak nog te uitdagend zijn.
Korte hoofdstukken, overzichtelijke lay-out en een dyslexievriendelijke opmaak (getint papier, speciaal lettertype).
Aansprekende én actuele thema’s die passen bij de belevingswereld van pre-tieners en jongere tieners.
Vaak geschreven door bekende, prijswinnende auteurs, zodat de verhalen zowel kwalitatief als motiverend zijn.

Transition Fiction zorgt ervoor dat ook minder zelfverzekerde lezers plezier en zelfvertrouwen opdoen, zodat zij zonder drempels kunnen overstappen naar ‘volwassenere’ jeugdboeken. Zo wordt iedere leerling gestimuleerd om zich verder te ontwikkelen als lezer.
