Victoria
We showcase many Australians in our readers – here are books containing Victorian content.
Literacy Tower Australia publishes levelled readers for explicit guided reading instruction and take-home reading. Teachers tell us that their students look for the books with the tower on the back covers, when selecting books from the take-home reading boxes.
