Take-off! Bug Books: Stick Insect

by Karen Hartley, Philip Taylor

This text is part of a collection of titles which describe how insects and minibeasts grow, reproduce, move around, feed and use their senses. This volume focuses on stick insects, and simple questions and colour photographs are included. The titles are part of the "Take-Off" series, which is designed to be used with nine-year-olds who are struggling to achieve the levels of literacy expected for their age. The titles chosen are based on best-selling titles within existing Heinemann Library series and meet all Key Stage 2 requirements for the subject area. The National Literacy Strategy emphasizes that children with special educational needs should work, wherever possible, with their peers within the Literacy Hour. The aim is to use structured, intensive teaching to enable as many children as possible eventually to work at the appropriate level for their age.
