Welcome to Gigglers from Nelson Thornes

Easy to read and full of fun for reluctant readers

Based on the success of Sparklers, Gigglers is a new series of chapter books with even funnier storylines and appealing full-colour illustrations. Each book allows your pupils to experience reading success as they gain the skills they need to become confident, eager readers.

Easy to read and easy to understand...

Each of the 3 levels consists of 8 fast-moving books that are easy to read and easy to understand
Research shows that children love funny stories - what keeps them giggling and keeps them reading!
The Teacher's Guide, for each level, provides comprehensive activity material, copymasters and Guided Reading discussion points for each book.

Gigglers Readers

The Gigglers books retain all the great features of Sparklers - fast-paced and high interest storylines with the much loved additional features of the Character Page and Illustrated Glossary.

The large, clear typeface and number of the breaks in the text help pupils to follow the events of the story.
