"Start Reading is a new series of highly enjoyable books for beginning readers at KS1. They have been carefully graded to correspond to the Book Bands now widely used in schools. This enables readers to be sure that they choose books that match their own ability. The books can be shared with an adult or read independently. They promote the enjoyment of reading through reading real, satisfying stories with a beginning, a middle and an end. The class were making up some new races for Sports Day. There was three-legged racing and wheel-barrow racing. But no race would be as much fun as Jake, Bella and Nasim's Fun Race!."--Publisher's description.
