Have you ever had a dream? Something really big that you wanted to achieve – so big you almost burst thinking about it? Well, that’s me, but I found out that there’s more than one way of making your dreams come true. Pearl/Band 18 books offer fluent readers a complex, substantial text with challenging themes to facilitate sustained comprehension, bridging the gap between a reading programme and longer chapter books. Pages 78 and 79 allow children to re-visit the content of the book, supporting comprehension skills, vocabulary development and recall. Ideas for reading in the back of the book provide practical support and stimulating activities.
