Level 09 | Collins Big Cat

"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. Collins' celebrity gardening author demonstrates with her son, Harry, how to make a garden, step-by-step, in an old wheelbarrow. Pages 14-15 provide a photographic summary of the instructions, to consolidate understanding of the book, and as a useful reference for children making their own garden. "Blue/Band 4 books" offer longer, repeated patterns with sequential events and integrated literacy and natural language.
