First Reading: Level Three. When life on the farm becomes too hazardous for a donkey, a dog, a cat and a rooster, they decide to join a band – but the band are really a rascally gang of robbers! Titles in this level encourage the reader to develop reading stamina, increasing to 48 pages. This will include the main story (up to 450 words) as well as character sheets or maps. The story includes a strong element of reprise or repetition, with the familiarity of repeated language chunks helping the reader to gain in confidence. Subjects include classic folktales from around the world as well as original fiction, all with quirky and humorous illustrations. Will be enjoyed with equal enthusiasm if read alone or together with a parent.
Other First Reading Level 3 titles include Chicken Licken, The Three Little Pigs, and The Boy Who Cried Wolf.
