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, and 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.

Mega Slug is the boss. It's his job to keep the allotment free of pests like Big Dash, a snail supervillain, who would munch every carrot and radish if he could. We follow Mega Slug as he tries to take down Big Dash. In the end, it's a clever strategy that saves the allotment (for now, at least …)

This is a light-hearted humorous graphic novel.

The focus sounds covered are: /ch/ /sh/ /th/, and adjacent consonants.

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.
