Reading Worlds is a reading series for African primary schools which encourages children to take an active interest in reading for pleasure and for information. The main aim of Reading Worlds is to help children to develop into confident, independent readers by the time they leave primary school. Then, as they begin secondary school, they will be able to study effectively and learn independently and they will also learn to enjoy reading. The series provides for the different age groups and competencies found in primary schools in Africa.
