The Northern Lights

What are the Northern lights? Why do they appear? Where can you see them? The answers are all in this book. The Northern Lights is a book-banded reading book for developing readers, carefully levelled at Purple Book Band for guided reading.

Illustrated throughout with beautiful photographs, this 432-word non-fiction book is suitable for ages 7 - 8.

The Northern Lights features a more demanding text with an extended vocabulary.

With a wider vocabulary, the characters are more three dimensional, and illustrations are less important.

It encourages more independent reading. The Northern Lights 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).
