Project X Hero Academy is a fully decodable and finely levelled reading series set in a school for superheroes, designed to captivate and motivate all young readers and turn them into reading superheroes. The Nosy Cook is in Orange Book Band, Oxford Level 6, and supports Letters and Sounds Phase 5. In this story, Mrs Butterworth, the cook, is off sick, so there's another cook in the kitchen. But Cam thinks there's something strange about her. Who is she, and what does she want? Each book can be used for independent reading, but also contains inside cover notes that include help on developing vocabulary and prompt questions that can be used for guided reading and one-to-one sessions. Full guided reading notes are provided in the corresponding handbook. There are also a range of follow-up activities to support reading for pleasure.
