Reading Champion: A Windy Day: Independent Reading Blue 4

Description

In this story, a very windy day makes it too tricky to do all the farm jobs. Josh thinks it's time to get out the kite! Reading Champion is a series of independent reading books for children to practise and reinforce their developing reading skills. Fantastic, original stories are accompanied by engaging artwork and a reading activity. Each book has been carefully graded so that it can be matched to a child's reading ability, encouraging reading for pleasure.

Beccy Blake (Illustrator) Beccy is a children's illustrator and artist, with a love of all things slightly bonkers which invariably end up in her pictures and paintings.
