Keeping Warm in Winter 

Very cold weather can kill animals. How do they keep warm in the Winter? Keeping Warm in the Winter is a book-banded reading book for developing readers, carefully levelled at Green Book Band for guided reading. Illustrated throughout with beautiful photographs, this nonfiction title is suitable for ages 9-13. Keeping Warm in the Winter features a longer, less structured text with a more extended vocabulary. It has more varied and longer sentences, no repetition, and includes made-up words. Story events are longer and there are more words on each page. Keeping Warm in the Winter is part of Ransom Reading Stars Plus, a structured programme for students learning to read. The series has ten levels: four phonics levels and six book band levels (Pink through to Orange).
