Author Description

More Fireflies is a further series of 30 new non-fiction titles for reading stages 1+ to 5, for children in Reception and Year 1 (aged 4 12 to 6 years). Written by a team of experienced authors, titles include a variety of current topics covering all areas of the curriculum, from science to citizenship. Texts provide examples of all the required text ranges including Reports, explanations, instructional texts, recounts and biography. The striking designs for the individual books have the same eye-catching quality of the original Fireflies series, and are illustrated with excellent photographs that provide early readers with clear visual cues to the words and meaning of the text. The reading level of the text for each stage matches the Book Band levels, providing plenty of practice in reading the prescribed high-frequency vocabulary and the context words related to the topic.
