The North Wind and the Sun retells the classic fable of the sun and the wind’s different approaches to getting a man to remove his coat. The North Wind and the Sun is a book-banded reading book for developing readers, carefully levelled at Green Book Band for guided reading. Beautifully illustrated throughout, this fiction story is suitable for ages 9-13. The North Wind and the Sun features a longer, less structured text with a more extended vocabulary. It has more varied and longer sentences, no repetition, and includes made-up words. Story events are longer and there are more words on each page. The North Wind and the Sun is part of Ransom Reading Stars Plus, a structured programme for students learning to read. The series has ten levels: four phonics levels and six book band levels (Pink through to Orange).
