As our children won’t be able to change books on their colour bands at home how about joining the “Oxford Owl” reading site (parents can join free!). There are a number of ebooks on there that the children will be used to like Biff, Chip and Kipper books. They also do interactive games and activities for reading comprehension and this is all FREE!
