Super Son Day

Description

Al’s been dreading ‘Bring Your Child to Work Day’. His mum, ‘Wonder Wendy’, is a superhero at Sonictown Superhero Agency. Everyone there has amazing superhero kids with matching superpowers. But Al didn’t quite take after his superhero mum. He took after his non-superhero dad instead… Will he make it through the day? 

Features

Gold Band Structure

  • No specific phonic structure to these books, as children should be able to work out most reasonably common words without difficulty.
  • Vocab choices are appropriate to this young readership and not too complex or demanding
  • More scope for complex inference creeping in – e.g. sometimes the reader may need to read between the lines, or may know something the characters do not, or the author may set up unusual twist or surprise ending.
  • Stories are slightly longer and more complex than before and bring in knowledge from outside the story in order to understand it.
  • As above, though stories are becoming more varied in plot as well as sentence structure, sometimes including some more literary or stylised language where appropriate.
