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. Mr Gleam is in Purple Book Band, Oxford Level 8, and supports Letters and Sounds Phase 6. In this story, the teachers at Hero Academy are away at a conference, and the heroes are relaxing after a busy week. As a reward for their hard work, the school fountain has been changed to hot chocolate! The heroes are thrilled, but everything is not as it seems 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.
