About the Book

A real problem for young teenagers with severe reading difficulties, including dyslexia, is the shortage of stories they want to read. (Obviously books aimed at young children are not appropriate.) Based on their considerable research and wide-ranging trials, Anna and Sydney Higgins have written the graded series of books, FUN READ. 'THE PRICE OF FRIENDSHIP' is the sixth book in the series. Its Flesch Reading Ease score is 87.1. It is graded as 'easy to read'. Based on 8 standard readability formulas, it is appropriate for beginners (= 4th grade/year). The content is most suitable for female students aged 11-16. There are 114 pages and 8 illustrations. THE PRICE OF FRIENDSHIP Amanda arrives unexpectedly at the Seymour's home. She announces that she's left home after a row with her father and his new wife. They didn't like Lola, her friend. David and Joan Seymour agree that Amanda can stay with them for a while. Their son, Tom, is delighted. He is even happier when Lola visits - but she throws the whole family into crisis. What happens then is both funny and alarming. As everyone tries to deal with the problems Lola creates, they all discover the real price of friendship. Unlike the earlier books in this series, the text is presented in complete sentences. Both Sydney and Anna Higgins have many years of teaching experience. After being a Senior Advisor for English in the UK, Sydney moved to Italy where he became a professor of English. His wife, Anna, has been for over 20 years a university teacher and an examiner for the Cambridge EFL examinations. The other books in the FUN READ series are: 1.
