This breakthrough series provides information on the same theme at four different reading stages.

• Theme Sets have been written to address the developmental needs of students at a range of reading abilities.
• Each of the 8 high-interest Theme Sets contains 4 different topic
  books - each written at a different level.
• The 4 topic books within one Theme Set cover the same key concepts and vocabulary.
• Books in each Theme Set cover different topics; pupils can read
  through each book in the theme as their skills increase.
• Each theme has visual literacy and an extended writing activity.
• Teaching Notes available for each set give guidance on how Theme Sets work in the classroom.
• Teachers need only plan one guided reading session as all the books follow the same format.
