Many children enjoy the challenge of cross-contry racing. In this story, Alex (who has been met in other PM Plus books) is no exception. She also proves that it takes more than a new pair of running shoes to win a race. Purple level titles introduce a variety of topics to promote reading for pleasure and offer plenty of opportunities to look at rhyme and rhythm within words to build fluency and phrasing. PM Plus Storybooks feature a classic story structure with tension, climax and resolution to engage young readers. The books have been written using carefully selected vocabulary to ensure children experience reading success. #pm19-offer
