COLLINS BIG CAT - THE BIG, BAD CITY: BAND 07/TURQUOISE (COLLINS BIG CAT)
RAYNER, SHOO
Little Red Hen is looking for Grannys house in the big, bad city. Should she trust the smiley stranger who wants to help her?
Turquoise/ Band 7 books offer literary language and extended descriptions, with longer sentences and a wide range of unfamiliar terms.
Text type - A traditional tale
The story is followed on pages 22 and 23 by a map of Mr Foxs whole route, which is a great way to recap and discuss the story with children and gives an opportunity to extend into further work outside the reading session.
Curriculum links: geography: Pupils should be taught to use simple compass directions (North, South, East and West) and locational and directional language [for example, near and far; left and right], to describe the location of features and routes on a map.
