Project X Hero Academy is a fully decodable and finely levelled reading series set in a school for superheroes, designed to captivate and motivate all young readers and turn them into reading superheroes. Out of Control is in Purple Book Band, Oxford Level 8, and supports Letters and Sounds Phase 6. In this story, the heroes are outside doing PE (Power Exploration) with Mr Trainer. The student with the highest marks will receive a gold merit badge. Jin is keen to be top of the class but will he go too far? Each book can be used for independent reading, but also contains inside cover notes that include help on developing vocabulary and prompt questions that can be used for guided reading and one-to-one sessions. Full guided reading notes are provided in the corresponding handbook. There are also a range of follow-up activities to support reading for pleasure.
