Storms are natural forces that happen all the time. This text will challenge children’s thinking about why different types of storms happen. Other text forms include diagrams & a visual explanation of the Beaufort scale. Silver level titles (equivalent to the White bridging book band) use sentences with two or three clauses & the length of the texts extends to around 1000 words to help build reading stamina. Real-life problems are also introduced to encourage empathy. For children who prefer to read non-fiction texts, the PM Plus Non-fiction titles offer carefully researched information thematically linked to key learning areas. The texts are supported with superb photography & realistic illustrations. pm 19-offer
