Collins Big Cat - Exploring Cyberspace: Band 10+/White Plus

Paperback

Sam and Layla enjoy playing games, chatting to their friends and watching things online. But sometimes using the internet worries them and they don’t always enjoy screen time as much as they think they will. Why is that?

White Plus/Band 10+ books provide challenging plots and vocabulary as well as opportunities to practise inference, prediction and reading stamina.

Pages 46 and 47 allow children to re-visit the content of the book, supporting comprehension skills, vocabulary development and recall.

Ideas for reading in the back of the book provide practical support and stimulating activities.

Lisa co-authored Exploring Cyberspace with Kyle Taylor to help children make sense of the internet and its increasing presence in their lives. Following her own children’s experiences, she wants to help provide context as children navigate their lives online, encouraging them to interpret what they see and make active choices.

Kyle Taylor has spent his career working on issues surrounding data, democracy and the impact of the digital age on society. He is an expert on digital privacy and data issues. Kyle is the author of "The Little Black Book of Data and Democracy" – a beginner's guide to social media and society, which is aimed at adult audiences. He co-authored Exploring Cyberspace to offer children and parents an accessible way to introduce these complex topics to young people so they are prepared for the digital world.

Collins Big Cat supports every primary child on their reading journey from phonics to fluency. Top authors and illustrators have created fiction and non-fiction books that children love to read. Book banded for guided and independent reading, there are reading notes in the back, comprehensive teaching and assessment support and ebooks available.
