Publisher's Synopsis
Stage D of a primary programme designed to improve the way children use, read and write non-fiction. Titles in the "Discovery World" series are graded to allow beginner readers a gradual introduction to non-fiction. As well as text grading, the features found in all non-fiction books (captions, charts, spread headings etc.) have been gradually introduced stage by stage. At each level there are seven titles which cover a broad selection of topics and subjects, including science, technology, maths, geography, history and art.;Stages C and D present more sophisticated page design, encouraging examination of the spread, with captions and simple bar charts, time-lines and cutaways introduced. Question and answer text encourages interaction and investigation.
