Collins Big Cat Phonics for Letters and Sounds – Age 7+ - Zayn Levels Up: Band 05/Green

Zayn is playing on his games console when there is a power cut. He'd been trying to reach Level 50 for weeks! After trying and failing to switch his console back on, he is shocked to discover that the Level 50 gatekeeper, a fearsome bear, has appeared in his bedroom. The bear is fed up of being the bad guy and wants to help instead. The pair have a fun day in Zayn's garden as the bear trains him up to reach the next level. In fact, they have so much fun that Zayn forgets all about the computer game!
