Fully Booked is a series of fiction and non-fiction for readers in KS3 who need reading practice in phonics and decoding skills. The paperback format resembles books their peers are reading, while the shorter length will help students gain confidence and make progress. They can be read in class or at home and are supported by free teacher notes.

In 1912 scientists thought they’d found the earliest human remains at Piltdown, but it was a fake. Who created the hoax? No one knows for sure. This gripping book reads like a mystery, showing how clues slowly revealed the truth.

This is a non-fiction mystery based on a real historical event.

The focus sounds covered are: /ai/ ay, a-e, ey, ei.

Free teacher notes for this book are provided on collins.co.uk which will help to develop comprehension skills, vocabulary acquisition and recall – leading to reading success.
