West Ham United - Sandra Woodcock

"Livewire" is a range of reading material with a teenage/adult interest level for those with reading ages below 10, or for adult students learning English as a second or foreign language. All "Livewire" titles have been written by experienced special needs teachers, and have been fully assessed by The Basic Skills Agency to ensure accessibility in both layout and content. They are subtly colour-coded for the appropriate "reading age". This biography of West Ham is part of the "Livewire: Real Lives" series, which features personalities from sport, film and music, politics and history.

The Livewire biographies...are interesting, well-illustrated and keenly devoured by the teenage (and adult) readers at whom they are aimed.
