What the testers said: “Collins Big Cat Progress was an instant hit. These books were visually appealing and motivating for older pupils with a lower reading age. This is a flexible and exciting reading scheme with a massive difference. Lovely information books, stories and all sorts which the children loved dipping into. They particularly liked the non-fiction range on topical matters. We could extend the books by using the ideas for reading which were in the backs of each book.”

What the testers said: “This was a fantastic book to read with the children. It was very bright and colourful and had fantastic illustrations. The language used was suitable, just occasionally including technical words which could be defined in the glossary. There was a nice range of content and the visual time table was interesting. The hardback design means the book is durable and will survive in the classroom.”
