Alison Milford Fire

Annotation

Since early humans discovered how to produce fire, it has been both a gift and a curse to humankind. It has given us warmth, food, tools, light, power and entertainment. However, its extreme heat has also caused destruction, fear and terrible injury. Find out how fire is made, read about the power of fire and warm up with some great fiery facts. Levelled by expert literacy consultant, Dee Reid, this set of ten books is designed for students aged 10-14 with a lower reading age of 8.5-9. Short sentences and different text types such as diagrams, tables and bullet points serve to break up the text and allow readers to absorb the information more readily, taking breaks when they are needed. The subject matter is varied just like the format, and students will enjoy reading about animals from around the world, cons, strange jobs, aliens in films and Greek mythology - to name a few.
