All about the Moon, our planet Earth’s constant companion. Find out how the Moon affects the Earth, find out about the first man on the Moon, and the great mystery of the Moon. The Moon is a book-banded reading ook for more confident readers, carefully levelled at Lime Book Band for guided reading. Illustrated throughout with beautiful photographs, this 1,024-word non-fiction book is suitable for ages 8 - 9. The Moon features a more demanding text with extended vocabulary and literary devices. Metaphor and technical language is introduced and illustrations no longer support the text directly. The Moon 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).
