"A classic tale, adapted and illustrated for inclusive reading."
The Wizard of Oz has been written many times and most of us have seen a film or a play of this timeless story. Dorothy and her dog Toto are carried away in a tornado to the magical land of Oz. Here they encounter witches and wizards and make three special friends, a scarecrow with no brain, a tin man with no heart and a cowardly lion. Throughout the adventure, there is a strong message that we can overcome our fears, that we all need friends and good conquers evil.
This classic tale has been adapted for dyslexic readers, with a very accessible font, very well-spaced text and clear explanatory illustrations. There are also dictionary pages, explaining more complicated vocabulary. Unlike most books, however, the explanation is on the opposite side to the story, so there is no need to search the back of the book and lose the thread of the story.
There is a parallel book, The Wonderful Wizard of Oz: Accessible Symbolised Edition with symbolised stories for those who rely on symbols to access the text.
