• The larger text and carefully controlled language level make the pages more accessible for lower achievers.
• More regular in-text questions and the end-of-spread questions build up pupils' knowledge - and confidence - throughout the lesson.
• Red and Green books have identical pagination, so you can use them side by side in a mixed-ability class.
