14 Dark Blue
The Dark Blue book band is suited for Key Stage 2 students, typically in Year 6, who are ready for challenging and thought-provoking texts. This band represents a level where students are expected to engage with more complex narratives and advanced vocabulary, often encountering deeper themes that encourage critical thinking, analysis, and reflection.
Books in the Dark Blue band feature longer and more intricate chapters, multiple plot threads, and developed character arcs. These books explore a wide variety of genres, including historical fiction, science fiction, fantasy, and biographies, with a focus on stories that tackle real-world issues, personal growth, and social or ethical dilemmas. They often require students to read for deeper meaning and draw inferences beyond the text itself.
