Description

Fossils are the ancient remains of living things preserved in rocks. They are usually formed from plants, bones, or shells. Scientists who study fossils are called paleontologists. Fossils show paleontologists what life was like on Earth when the animal or plant died. Which plants or animals do you know about from fossils?

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.
