Welcome to the Gobsmackers website.
Gobsmackers books have been written and illustrated by volunteers with many years experience in adult literacy. The books are intended as fun readers for adults. All the books have been based on real life stories and the tales are all 'gobsmacking'. There are tips for tutors and exercises for each book. The exercises and tips can be downloaded and printed.
Our special thanks go to Sharynn Chapple-Fahlesson who designed the exercises and tips for tutors as part of her post-graduate degree.
