A first-person account of a great day out at the seaside. A Great Day Out is a book-banded reading book for early readers, carefully levelled at Blue Book Band. Beautifully illustrated throughout, this 199-word fiction story features a longer, less structured text with a more flexible vocabulary. It is suitable for ages 5 - 6. A Great Day Out is part of Ransom Reading Stars, a structured programme for children learning to read. The series has fifteen levels: four phonics levels and eleven book band levels (Pink through to Lime).
