The Secret Egg.

Finding something strange on the bus leads to a secret egg hatching.

What can it be? The story is told entirely in verse. The Secret Egg is a book-banded reading book for developing readers, carefully levelled at Purple Book Band.

Beautifully illustrated throughout, this 362-word rhyming story features a more demanding text with an extended vocabulary.

It is suitable for ages 7 – 8. The Secret Egg 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).
