Hero Academy: Oxford Level 1+, Pink Book Band: Ben Helps by Tim Little
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. Ben Helps is in Pink Book Band, Oxford Level 1+, and supports Letters and Sounds Phase 2 (Set 5). In this story, Ben tries to help Miss Baker, the dinner lady, using his super-speed, but he ends up going too fast and spilling food all over the floor! 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.
