Collins Big Cat is a guided reading series for ages 4--7 edited by Cliff Moon. Top children's authors and illustrators have created fiction and non-fiction books that your children will love to read, banded to help you choose the right book for every child. Practical teaching notes are included at the back of each book. This instruction book shows children how to make pop-up cards, taking them through each stage of the process with clear photographs and instructions. A flowchart at the end summarises the process and helps children remember the sequence of events. Orange (Band 6) books offer formal sentences with a range of familar and unfamiliar terms for developing readers.
