The Comedy of Errors: Band 16/Sapphire

Build your child’s reading confidence at home with books at the right level

A hilarious retelling of one of Shakespeare’s silliest comedies. With two sets of identical twins, there’s bound to be plenty of mistaken identities, the question is will everyone work out who each other is, and will all the confusion get sorted out before it’s too late?

Sapphire/Band 16 books offer longer reads to develop children’s sustained engagement with texts and are more complex syntactically.
