Reading Champion: Beetle Wants to Fly

Beetle sees Ladybird flying and wants to try flying too. But once she accidentally becomes airborne, she realises life on the ground is much safer

This story is part of Reading Champion, a series carefully linked to book bands to encourage independent reading skills, developed with Dr Sue Bodman and Glen Franklin of UCL Institute of Education (IOE)

Reading Champion offers 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. This is perfect for 5-7 year olds or those reading book band green.
