[senco-forum] Readers

A while back someone was asking about readers for Polish children in their
classes. I received a flyer the other day from Badger Publishing.  Haven't
seen the books but here is blurb from the website:

"Available now...

Dual-language Polish-English Readers

We have had such difficulty sourcing age-appropriate dual-language readers
for junior and secondary pupils that we have decided to publish our own!

Eight action-packed titles have been translated into Polish by Kryspin
Kochanowski. Already popular titles in English these books were originally
written as part of our Hi-Lo series, making it an easier read in English.
Perfect for pupils developing their skills whilst still reading for pleasure
in their first language".

Thought whoever was enquiring earlier may be interested in finding out more.

Ducks swim in a ...... bucket, pond, etc etc

and having a table for standardised scores and reading ages. I think it
takes 15 minutes.
