White Band Structure

  • No specific phonic structure to these books, as children should be able to work out most reasonably common words without difficulty.
  • Vocab choices are appropriate to this young readership and not too complex or demanding
  • More scope for complex inference creeping in – e.g. sometimes the reader may need to read between the lines, or may know something the characters do not, or the author may set up unusual twist or surprise ending.
  • Stories are slightly longer and more complex than before and bring in knowledge from outside the story in order to understand it.
  • As above, though stories are becoming more varied in plot as well as sentence structure, sometimes including some more literary or stylised language where appropriate.
    • Globally Sourced

    Additional Brand Information

    Maverick Publishing was launched in 2009, and has been developing a book list with a strong emphasis on quality. The Maverick Early Reader scheme has become a large part of Maverick’s publishing programme and is continuously growing. The scheme is built on using natural English, allowing the text to flow without forcing certain phonics into a sentence. This encourages children to read stories which are written in a more familiar style of language.

    The colour banding system allows an emerging reader to track their progression through the reading levels. Each book is assigned a colour band according to a comprehensive list of criteria. By levelling books in this way it establishes a solid base for those learning to read. This is one of the most popular forms of levelling in the UK and is recognised by most schools and libraries.
