Touchdown
Touchdown is suited to advanced readers in primary school 
and early high school. It corresponds with Stage 3 in the
NSW K–6 curriculum.
Touchdown publishes a range of fiction, poetry, plays, information texts and activities and puzzles, chosen carefully for their appeal to the young reader. Each month one book will be featured, with an extract, in the Bookshelf section of the magazine. Meet the Author/Illustrator features about French artist Sempé and Siobhan Parkinson are planned for 2007. Special features include an Anzac Day tribute, a page celebrating NATSI Week, plus seasonal stories and articles.
A two-part serial, "The Parrot Pirate Princess" by Joan Aiken, was published in Touchdown 2 (March) and 3 (April).
