Collins Big Cat is an incredible resource that supports every primary child on their reading journey, from phonics to fluency. With a wide range of fiction and non-fiction books created by top authors and illustrators, children are captivated by the stories and eager to explore new worlds. These books are carefully levelled to cater to guided and independent reading, with engaging ideas and activities to support reading comprehension and vocabulary development.

In addition to the printed books, Collins Big Cat offers teaching and assessment support, as well as eBooks, to enhance the learning experience. The Captain Scott's Expedition to the Antarctic series, for example, delves into the ill-fated expedition of Captain Scott and his Norwegian rival, Roald Amundsen, as they navigate through the treacherous and unforgiving Antarctic landscape. These books offer more complex underlying themes, allowing children to understand different causes and perspectives.

At the same time, the Diamond/Band 17 books provide a step up in complexity, offering deeper themes and opportunities for children to explore more complex concepts. The pages 54 and 55 of these books offer a chance for children to revisit the content, reinforcing their understanding, building vocabulary, and enhancing their recall.

Furthermore, the back of the book includes valuable ideas for reading, providing practical support and stimulating activities to engage children in their reading journey. Whether it's discussing characters, making predictions, or engaging in creative writing exercises, these ideas help children deepen their comprehension and enjoyment of the books.

Collins Big Cat is a truly remarkable resource that empowers primary children to become confident and enthusiastic readers. With its diverse range of books, levelled reading options, and supportive teaching materials, it equips children with the skills and knowledge they need to thrive in their academic and personal lives.
