Lisa wants to get fit. But running is not what she falls in love with... Fit for Love is a book-banded reading book for developing readers, carefully levelled at Yellow Book Band for guided reading. Beautifully illustrated throughout, this 246-word fiction story is suitable for struggling teen and adult readers. Fit for Love features a short, structured text with accessible vocabulary, has more variation in sentence structure with some repetition in patterns. Punctuation includes comma, full stops, exclamation and question marks, and direct speech. Fit for Love is part of Ransom's Neutron Stars, a structured reading programme for teens and adults learning the basics of reading. The series offers progression through ten levels of reading, four phonics and six coloured book bands. More information on the structure of the scheme can be found here.
