This book is to help teachers in England set up comprehensive guided reading resources that support children's development as they move into Key Stage 2. The authors of Book Bands for Guided Reading (Key Stage One) have listed nearly 2,000 titles in a gradient of six color bands, Orange to Lime, representing Working Towards NC Level 2 to Level 3. Each band is accompanied by two guided reading lessons, plans and annotated scanned texts to indicate typical challenges that children face at each band.
