Hi Lo Reader
Collins Big Cat supports every primary child on their reading journey from phonics to fluency. Top authors and illustrators have created fiction and non-fiction books that children love to read. Book banded for guided and independent reading, there are reading notes in the back, comprehensive teaching and assessment support and ebooks available. Do koala mums feed their babies poo and do humans really have the same number of neck bones as a giraffe? That can't be true! Or can it? Discover the answer to these fascinating questions and more in this interactive informative book. Lime/Band 11 books have longer sentence structures and a greater use of literary language. Pages 30 and 31 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.
