Why choose Diffusion books?

Diffusion books are specially written for teenagers and adults who need to improve their reading skills, including reluctant readers, those with a reading age lower than their actual age and those learning English as a foreign language. The books are fast paced with gripping story lines, relevant themes and believable characters. Originally written to help those learning to read when in prison, the books also appeal to readers who may sometimes be disengaged from mainstream learning. While Diffusion is an imprint of SPCK, the books are suitable for those of all faiths and none.

Great for group reading

Diffusion books include discussion and reflection questions at the end of each short chapter, making them perfect for group reading. The ‘what do you think?’ questions help to check that the text has been understood and can also lead to discussions on a range of topics from coping with peer pressure to managing anger, from setting yourself goals to dealing with being embarrassed.
