Explore with Biff, Chip and Kipper: Gold

This set of 6 Gold band books (ORT level 9) is carefully levelled and fully decodable for children who have by now been introduced to all of the phonics in Phases 1-5 of Letters and Sounds and are reading with some  confidence. At this level the books contain a much richer use of vocabulary and characters, as well as more complex storylines. Explore is a reading scheme that covers book bands Lilac to Gold and offers three pairs of topic-linked books at each level to encourage the reading of different text types as well as across the curriculum subjects. In Sculptures for the Emperor, the magic key takes Biff and Aneena off on an adventure to Ancient  China where strange warriors do not move? The paired non-fiction book Stone Sculptures to Frozen Figures compares different sculptures all around the world and the materials artists use including large ice figures and giant heads made of stone. As for the warriors that cannot move – find out all about The Terracotta Army in these bright and informative books.
