Burgundy Book Bands (Level 15)

Burgundy books prompt children to synthesise information from various parts of a text, recognising how layers of meaning contribute to humour or tension build-up and discussing the author's techniques for achieving these effects. Books at this level are written with subtlety, requiring readers to fully engage with the text to comprehend it.  Burgundy books are designed for upper Key Stage 2 pupils, specifically higher achieving Year 5 students.
