Night and Day (Reading Stars) - Softcover

What makes our night and day? How do we get light from the Sun? Which animals hunt at night? Night and Day is a book-banded reading book for developing readers, carefully levelled at Turquoise Book Band for guided reading. Illustrated throughout with beautiful photographs, this 533-word non-fiction book is suitable for ages 6 - 7. Night and Day features a longer, more demanding text with an extended vocabulary. It uses punctuation and layout to encourage reading with expression. It had more complex words and formal sentences and there are complex events. Night and Day 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).

Alice Hemmings studied illustration part-time while working at Middlesex University, which gave her the idea of writing for illustrators. She has now had a number of books published for younger readers. Alice regularly visits local schools, hoping to inspire future authors.
