Overview

"Dean's week isn't kicking off to a great start. He missed his bus, was late for class and didn't understand his work. To top it off some new kid is disturbing him at lunch time. Luckily his best friend Hannah is there to help out. ""The New Kid"" is the first book in a series of multi-level, symbol supported stories aimed specifically at teenagers and young people with autism and learning difficulties. City Kicks books offer a unique opportunity for students of all levels to access the same stories, through the use of multi-level story telling and the incorporation of Widgit (c) symbols. City Kicks books allow young people who read traditional text, emergent readers and young people who don't currently read text to access the stories. City Kicks is a series bridging the gap for books and materials that are available to teenagers and young people with special needs.
