The Reading Champion Developing Readers 30 Books Collection (Level 6 to 10) is a carefully levelled paperback library designed to carry young readers from the Orange band through to White band with confidence. Spanning Orange, Turquoise, Purple and Gold before finishing on White, each colour step introduces slightly richer vocabulary, longer sentences and more complex plots, giving children a gentle, structured path toward fully independent reading while keeping every story genuinely fun and rewarding to read at bedtime, in the classroom, or during quiet independent reading time at home each week.. About the Books. Created by literacy experts and trusted by parents, teachers and librarians across the UK, the Reading Champion series is published by Franklin Watts, an imprint of Hachette Children's Group, developed in consultation with reading specialists. This 30-book Developing Readers set moves through five colour-coded bands - Orange, Turquoise, Purple, Gold and White - each written and illustrated by a rotating team of children's authors and illustrators including Sue Graves, Katie Dale, Damien Harvey, Jenny Jinks, A. H. Benjamin and Maxine Lee among others. Every title follows an easy-to-follow plot with diverse characters and contemporary themes, from dragons with hiccups and mischievous tooth fairies to missing tigers and a very worst wizard. Many editions include guidance notes for parents and carers, with discussion questions to ask before reading and a short comprehension activity afterwards, helping children build vocabulary, sequencing skills and confidence at their own pace. The set is ideal for children aged 5 to 7 who are beginning to read independently, bridging the gap between early phonics readers and longer chapter books, taking the guesswork out of choosing the right book at the right time. Whether used as part of a guided reading scheme at school, a home library, or a rewards system for reluctant readers, this collection lets children feel a genuine sense of achievement as they progress from one colour band to the next, and it pairs well with other levelled reading schemes children may already be using at school.. 30 individually levelled paperback stories across five reading bands. Written by a team of experienced children's authors and illustrators. Supports steady progression from guided to independent reading. Diverse characters and contemporary, engaging storylines. Ideal for home libraries, classrooms and school reading schemes. A perfect gift set for children aged 5 to 7. About the Authors.
