PM Magenta: Football at Home (PM) Wordless Texts

This book tells the story in pictures of two boys playing football in the backyard at home. The boys accidentally kick the ball over the fence. Will their neighbour help to return the ball?

This is a PM Wordless Text, designed to develop early oral literacy, sequencing, and comprehension skills in emergent readers. PM Wordless Texts use imagery to help children create narratives, develop visual literacy, and prepare for reading by structuring stories with a clear beginning, middle, and end.

Magenta level titles are perfect for introducing fundamental reading concepts and skills to early and emergent readers.

ABOUT THE SERIES

PM Reading

A unique collection of meticulously levelled fiction and non-fiction books, PM Reading provides quality, variety and depth to ensure children build confidence through gradual progression and enjoy the experience of learning to read.

PM builds balanced readers

The balanced reader decodes, reads with fluency and phrasing and comprehends across a wide range of text types. The PM series has taken this complex model and broken it down into 30 incremental levels for ages 4 to 12+.

Please see ‘The PM Story’ for a breakdown by colour band, and ‘How PM Works’ for our annotated texts designed to help teachers to understand the progression of the PM reading programme. Both can be found on shop.scholastic.co.uk/pmreading
