Are you a leader? Do you look good on TV? Then maybe you should start your own crazy cult... How to Start Your Own Crazy Cult is a book-banded reading book for developing readers, carefully levelled at Green Book Band for guided reading. Beautifully illustrated throughout, this non-fiction title is suitable for struggling teen and adult readers. How to Start Your Own Crazy Cult features a longer, less structured text with a more extended vocabulary. It has more varied and longer sentences, no repetition, and includes made-up words. Story events are longer and there are more words on each page. How to Start Your Own Crazy Cult 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.
