Red Paper Books

Goal! is a read­ing scheme with a foot­ball theme for less able read­ers want­ing some­thing inter­est­ing to read. These are work­books that accom­pany the series.

A fun take on comic book super-heroes, and a good read too. Orig­i­nally 6, now 12, graphic nov­els done in a manga style. These read­ers are aimed at older chil­dren need­ing help with read­ing who would be put-off by books writ­ten for younger read­ers. Ran­som are par­tic­u­larly good at this sort of stim­u­lat­ing read, as is fur­ther demon­strated by their Goal! series.

The artist is Peter Richard­son. He works in Illus­tra­tor, and his art­work is easy for a designer to work with, as the files are highly editable and adapt­able for con­struct­ing pre­lim and cover pages, as well as being eas­ily uti­lized for par­tic­u­lar excerpts in worbooks.
