Pelle pa planetfard
by Jan Loof
Age Range: 6-8
Pelle på planetfärd was included in the ‘Reading the Way’: Inclusive Books from Around the World Research and ‘Reading the Way 2’ projects. The book is not available in English but is referred to as Pelle in Space throughout the RtW research. (Full reports in the Education Zone of this website)
Pelle embarks on a space adventure to find his friend the professor’s dog Lajka, who has been taken hostage in order to force the professor to hand over his book of inventions.
'Pelle' has been adapted using Widgit symbols. All of the original illustrations remain, but the Swedish language version is simplified for children with reading disabilities and the story is told in easy text printed beneath the Widgit symbols.
OIW were very pleased to find this book with its distinctive artwork, unusual story and Widgit symbols. The abridged text and Widgit symbols make the book accessible to many audiences who would otherwise struggle with the language and length of the original version. For some children with severe learning difficulties and/or communication difficulties, the text could even benefit from being simpler still. However, for the mass market, the abridged text appeared to have lost something compared with the original full-length story and it became clear that in an ideal world, this book (like many) would benefit from being made available in several different formats, including an abridged, sign-supported version for children with communication difficulties.
