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). The children want to make orange jelly, but Mum only has red or yellow. Luckily, she has a good idea! She suggests that they mix the red and yellow jelly to make a new colour - orange. The children are excited to try this, and they carefully mix the two jellies together. To their surprise, they create a beautiful orange jelly that tastes delicious. They realise that by using different colours and mixing them together, they can create new things and discover new flavours.

Mum also reminds the children that they can use their imagination to create new things and explore new ideas. She encourages them to be curious and to ask questions about the world around them. The children are grateful for their Mum's advice and they continue to make delicious orange jelly and explore new things. They realise that reading and creativity go hand in hand and that by using their imagination, they can create anything they want.

Reading Champion is a fantastic resource for children who are learning to read and for teachers who want to encourage independent reading skills. The series is carefully graded so that it can be matched to a child's reading ability, encouraging reading for pleasure. With engaging stories, engaging artwork, and a reading activity, Reading Champion is sure to inspire a love of reading in children of all ages.
