Whales is a book-banded reading book for developing readers, carefully levelled at Gold Book Band for guided reading.

Illustrated throughout with beautiful photographs, this 626-word non-fiction book is suitable for ages 7 - 8.

Whales features a longer, more demanding text with extended vocabulary and sentence structures.

It has wider vocabulary and terminology and the story-line is sustained for longer.

More than one point of view is expressed and illustrations no longer support the text. Whales is part of Ransom Reading Stars, a structured programme for children learning to read.

The series has fifteen levels: four phonics levels and eleven book band levels (Pink through to Lime).
