Overview
With
Find Out & Write
About, children can research and write about a subject. You
can use Find Out & Write About as non-fiction text in literacy
work, or for topic work. It links reading and writing and focuses
on reading comprehension and writing compositions. It offers a high
level of support.
It is suitable for individual and group work,
and offers differentiation as each book has two or three different
levels, or 'books', of information. These cover the same topics
with increasing levels of difficulty - so children with different
abilities can work on the same topic at a suitable level.

at their own level of pace/fluency
