Reading Champion: The Football Game

This story is part of Reading Champion, a series carefully linked to book bands to encourage independent reading skills, developed with Dr Sue Bodman and Glen Franklin of UCL Institute of Education (IOE)

In this story Macro is in the park when he comes across some children playing football. He asks to join in, but the other children are not sure he can play - can Marco prove them wrong?

Reading Champion offers independent reading books for children to practise and reinforce their developing reading skills.

Fantastic stories are accompanied by engaging artwork and a reading activity. Each book has been carefully graded so that it can be matched to a child's reading ability, encouraging reading for pleasure. This book is suitable for children aged 4+ or those reading at book band blue 4. (Book bands are a levelling system used in schools to track a child's reading progression).
