321 Go!
Interest Age: 8 - 14
Reading Age: 6 - 7
Purple - Gold band
A series of dramatic, second-by-second first-person accounts of wild sports, stunts and missions.
Using real-life photographs and comic-format speech bubbles, the 321 Go! books are ideal for readers who want highly visual non-fiction.
They can work as quick stand-alone reads, or they can be added into a formal collection of books to support the Book Band approach to developing literacy skills, with each title having been specially written to fit the requirements for either Purple or Gold Band.
Look inside a 321 Go! book...
"With detailed yet simple descriptions and superb full colour photography, readers will discover what it's really like to pull off a death-defying stunt, launch into space or hurtle along a drag race. A brilliant way of capturing the attention of reluctant or struggling readers."

"I find a lot of reluctant readers struggle to stay engaged in a book where long sentences are daunting and the content does not excite them. This is where the 321 Go! series is fantastic; children are hooked in by real life action and their attention is maintained second to second."
Lara Holden, Teacher
“These books have been hugely successful. The text is presented in a fun way using speech bubbles and is short, informative and to the point. Older, less able readers do not feel patronised. One of my pupils referred to the books as ‘amazing’ and I would agree.”
