Description

Did you know that there were no cars in the world until about 150 years ago? People rode in carriages pulled by strong horses. Then clever inventors found some ways to make carriages that moved without horses. They tried many kinds of engines and carriages before the first real car was invented.

Author description

Series editor and author of the Red Rocket reading program, Pam Holden has more than 30 years specialist experience in literacy. As a Reading Recovery teacher she has worked one-to-one with hundreds of children struggling with literacy. Pam's pupils have also included those approaching English as a second language, and children who are advanced and require extension. This experience has given the author a rare insight into the literacy process and has enabled her to identify many key elements that consistently block children's progress.
