Extension Books KS1
Great extension readers that are book banded from Pink to Magenta and fit neatly alongside the core reading books. These books enable pupils to reinforce skills they learn using the core readers. The number of titles means that pupils who need extra practice need not be rushed on as all the books in a level have been completed.
This is a resource which encourages children to tell stories as well as to listen and read stories, thus helping to develop oral language skills. These extension readers also double up as wonderful take home resources.
- Starter readers through to working towards Level 5C
- A variety of genre and authors and illustrators give a breadth to this programme that ensures that all pupils can make progress.
