PM Emerald: Trash and Treasure (PM Extras Chapter Books) Level 25

Jon’s class think they’ve drawn the short straw when they ‘choose’ to run the Trash and Treasure stall at the school fete. They resign themselves to the fact that they had better make the most of it and set to work asking people in the neighbourhood to donate items for their stall. Jon and his mother vist Mrs Cesinski, a very old lady whose husband has recently died. Even though he feels uncomfortable, Jon asks her if she would like to donate anything to the fete. She finally gives him an old cardigan that belonged to her late husband but will anyone want it? Emerald level (equivalent to the Lime bridging book band) provides a variety of chapter books and non-fiction titles. Readers are encouraged to experience different text types, writing styles and genres to develop their own reading tastes. #pm19-offer
