Author Description

Voyage Non-fiction is a sister programme to Voyage Short Stories. It is a guided reading programme for Y3-Y6/P4-P7 that provides anthologies of short non-fiction texts which are specially designed to allow children to learn and practise the skills of effective non-fiction reading. Because the texts are short, they can be easily read in one guided reading session and will motivate lower ability readers and boys. They also help children write their own texts as they mirror the amount they will actually write themselves both in and out of tests. The Pupil Collection for each Year provides two differentiated examples of each non-fiction text-type specified by the PNS. There will be one example of each text type aimed at below average readers, and one aimed at average readers. The content of the texts will link with the wider curriculum, including the QCA Schemes of Work. This means planning is easy - every pupil can access every text type and, with Voyage Short Stories, the whole of the NPS range at KS2 is covered in just 8 slimline collections.
