The game of cricket is awesome. But how do you play? Cricket is a book-banded reading book for developing readers, carefully levelled at Red Book Band for guided reading. Illustrated throughout with beautiful photographs, this 112-word nonfiction title is suitable for ages 9-13. Cricket features a short, highly structured text with limited vocabulary, slightly longer, predictable texts, short and clear sentences, and simple story development. It has clear text, appropriate fonts and obvious spacing. Cricket is part of Ransom Reading Stars Plus, a structured programme for students learning to read. The series has ten levels: four phonics levels and six book band levels (Pink through to Orange).
