Alien Adventures: Lime

For confident readers in Year 2, I don’t see how it gets any more exciting than this? By now readers will be gripped by the fast and furious space adventure that the micro-friends are having. Only Planet Moxor’s treacherous cactus forests, deadly caves, fragile mines, and a few statutory evil Krools, stand between them and the salvation of Planet Exis. Will they find the last Fragment and return to save their friend’s planet in time? These all-action space adventures in Project X Alien Adventure Lime band are bought to life with the incredible partnership between animator, Jonatronix, and the award-winning writer Tony Bradman. The Project X Alien Adventure reading scheme is super-exciting, clearly attuned to its audience and provides expert step by step progression, making this series an absolute favourite for readers and teachers too. This is a reading scheme loved by all readers but it is undoubtedly popular with boys and whilst each story offers its own conclusion, books can be read in a suggested order to follow a much wider space adventure. ‘Max’s Mission Log’ and ‘In our last adventure’ features appear at the start of every new book to help with the story plot and to update readers on the action. As expected Oxford makes excellent use of the inside covers offering tips and ideas to support to teaching staff, parents and the reader at all stages including Before Reading (identification of challenging words), During Reading (tips to parents) and After Reading (comprehension questions).
