Step into a world of hidden connections! Beneath every forest floor, trees and fungi are busily swapping food, sending signals, and helping each other grow, all through tiny underground threads we can't see. Scientists know these networks exist, but there's still so much to discover. What secrets are buried beneath our feet? The Trees are Talking! is at Oxford Reading Level 14. It is for readers aged 11 to 13 years old who are working below expected standard in their reading. The Readerful Rise series ensures that older struggling readers have books with age-appropriate content and topics, that looks like the books their peers are enjoying, but are a written at a level they can read successfully.
