An Ambleside year is a year of the Ambleside Online programme, not a reader's age. Year 0 is its first year, and a book used over several years shows the span. The ages beside it are that band offered two grades up and none down, which is how we offer a band; they are a placement, not a reading measure.
A collection of Langston Hughes’s poems selected especially for young readers, combining reflections on dreams, identity, hope, everyday life, and African American experience with the rhythms of blues and song. This illustrated edition includes additional poems and artwork by Brian Pinkney.
