Captain Scott: Band 17/Diamond

By Nigel Baines

Collins Big Cat supports every primary child on their reading journey from phonics to fluency. Top authors and illustrators have created fiction and non-fiction books that children love to read. Levelled for guided and independent reading, each book includes ideas to support reading. Teaching and assessment support and eBooks are also available.

Learn about Captain Scott's ill-fated expedition to the Antarctic, his Norwegian rival, Roald Amundsen, and the team that supported him in the journey through this brutal and unforgiving landscape.

Diamond/Band 17 books offer more complex, underlying themes to give opportunities for children to understand causes and points of view.

Pages 54 and 55 allow children to re-visit the content of the book, supporting comprehension skills, vocabulary development and recall.

Ideas for reading in the back of the book provide practical support and stimulating activities.
