08 Purple

Our Key Stage 2 Purple book band collection is designed for upper Key Stage 2 students, typically Year 6, who are ready to read more advanced, longer texts with intricate plots, complex sentence structures, and more mature themes. These books provide a challenge while still being accessible, promoting the development of fluency, comprehension, and critical thinking.

The Purple band includes a wide variety of genres, such as contemporary fiction, adventure, mystery, and historical narratives, along with non-fiction on topics like society, geography, and the environment. These books are perfect for students who are transitioning to more complex themes and storylines and will help develop a deeper understanding of language and literature.

Published by trusted names like Raintree, Ransom, and Maverick, the Purple band books are ideal for classroom libraries, guided reading groups, and independent reading. These texts will prepare students for more sophisticated reading as they continue to develop their literacy skills, offering engaging and enriching stories that challenge their imagination and thinking.
