Plants: Flowers, Fruits, Seeds (Take-off!)

This text is one of a collection of highly illustrated titles which examine all aspects of plants and the way they grow, their uses and their different forms and colours. This particular title focuses on the topic of flowers, fruits and seeds. It is part of the "Take-Off" series, which is aimed at 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 their subject. 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.
