Time-Travelling Toaster

Description

Breakfast Club at school is usually pretty boring. Rory and his friends, Cassie and Archie, hate having to wake up early to go. But one morning, the Breakfast Club find their toaster has broken, and when they find another in a cupboard, it turns out to be a time-travel machine! Along with their teacher, the group travel through time, but will they be able to find a way home?

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.
