This text explains why the pull of the Sun’s gravity attracts the nine planets in our solar system and holds the solar system together. Other text forms include diagrams and labels, explanatory writing and newspaper report. Silver level titles (equivalent to the White bridging book band) use sentences with two or three clauses and the length of the texts extends to around 1000 words to help build reading stamina. Real-life problems are also introduced to encourage empathy. For children who prefer to read non-fiction texts, the PM Plus Non-fiction titles offer carefully researched information thematically linked to key learning areas. The texts are supported with superb photography and realistic illustrations. #pm19-offer
