The Fairy of Gossamer River

Big Cat for Little Wandle Fluency has been developed in collaboration with Wandle Learning Trust and Little Sutton Primary School. It consists of a range of chapter books with increasing word counts across 10 fluency levels aimed at children in Year 2 and 3. Each book builds reading confidence, stamina and speed and nurtures a love for reading.

Fluency 7 books have a word count of 4800 words with an expected reading rate of 100 words per minute.

When Yasmina graduates Ms Gillyflower’s Finishing School for Fairies she is reluctant to guard a tall tower (she’s afraid of dragons) or live in a tumbledown cottage (she has horrible hayfever). Instead, she moves into a narrowboat on Gossamer River, and is tasked with looking after the local wildlife. However, she soon discovers that the water is being polluted by the Wizard of Waste, who is determined to turn the river into a rubbish dump. Yasmina must rally the community, but will she be able to defeat the Wizard of Waste?
