Wow! Fiction follows on from the Wow! Facts series and offers a range of books that can be paired with non-fiction counterparts on the same theme, such as Exploring Space, Ancient Egypt, or Fighter Planes. These books are designed to cater to children who may want to learn more about the topic and provide an opportunity to experience different text types and formats. The titles in the Wow! Fiction series are specifically designed for students aged 9+ and have a reading age of 6–11 years. They utilize a range of dyslexia-friendly features to support pupils' reading, such as off-white paper, an easy-to-read font, bite-sized chunks, carefully considered letter and paragraph spacing, and an overall design that reduces visual stress. The books in the Turquoise band have a reading age of 6 years and an interest age of up to 14 years. They are printed on off-white paper and incorporate an easy-to-read font and text separated into bite-sized chunks, along with carefully considered letter and paragraph spacing that can reduce visual stress. While these books have instantly appealing characters and gripping storylines, the language and sentence structure are intentionally written so that students who are reading behind their chronological age can succeed in reading them. The whole banded series offers progressively levelled books in Turquoise, Purple, Gold, White, Lime, and Brown bands, with 5 books offering plenty of practice at each level to consolidate learning and develop fluency before moving on.
