Research undertaken during the pilot work undertaken highlighted a hiatus in provision for materials that address issues associated with an immediate leap from picture books to early chapter novels. Carefully chosen page by page illustrations are desired for certain groups within this intermediate level, especially for the considerable numbers of young readers identified as visual learners, of which there may be up to 60% in a classroom.

Highly visual books for such groups call for superior illustrations that are age-appropriate and which maximise visual perception.

Such reading materials lead to a juxtaposition where text and illustrations are interwoven. This offers pupils and educators many opportunities to discuss various interpretations of the stories.
