To ensure accessibility and readability, Hodder & Stoughton have worked with The Basic Skills Agency on Livewire - a series of reading material with a teenage or adult interest level for those with a reading age of 10 or below, or for adult students learning English as a second or foreign language. It offers teenagers and adults appropriate fiction and non-fiction which is graded at reading ages 6-7, 7-8, 8-9, and 9-10. The books aim to engage the interest of the reader in a motivating and non-patronizing way, and lead him or her towards the attainment of a higher reading level.
