Hero Academy: Oxford Level 1, Lilac Book Band: Cat Chase

Project X Hero Academy is a fully decodable and finely levelled reading series set in a school for superheroes, designed to captivate and motivate all young readers and turn them into reading superheroes. Cat Chase is in Lilac Book Band, Oxford Level 1, and supports Letters and Sounds Phase 1. In this story, Ben sees a runaway dog chasing a cat (Slink). He uses his superpower super-speed to catch the dog and return it to its owner. Each book can be used for independent reading, but also contains inside cover notes that include help on developing vocabulary and prompt questions that can be used for guided reading and one-to-one sessions. Full guided reading notes are provided in the corresponding handbook. There are also a range of follow-up activities to support reading for pleasure.
