Synopsis

In this cluster we meet some scary pirate characters in the book Nasty Nate's Pirate Adventure, have fun at a pirate fair in Shiver My Timbers and Treasure Hunt and find out what life was like for real pirates in the two non fiction books Blackbeard's Ship and Pirates.

Each book comes with notes for parents that highlight tricky words or concepts in the books, prompt questions and suggest a range of follow-up activities. The Pirates Guided Reading Notes provide step-by-step guided reading support for each book in the Pirates cluster, together with guidance about
comprehension, assessment for learning and vocabulary enrichment. Hands-on follow-up activities and cross-curricular links are also provided for each book.

About this title

About the Author

Mick is a published author with a very strong pedigree - over 100 books for children published to date, by major publishers including Oxford University Press, Heinemann, Penguin, Walker Books, Watts and Longman. Mick has also been involved in a variety of broadcast media. He frequently tours
schools with his workshops, where children (and sometimes adults) are encouraged to bring stories to life. Mick's talents encompass every genre, and he is as comfortable with rhyme as with prose, fiction as with non-fiction. He is able to inject light and humour into any setting, but also weaves
magic and intrigue into the dark worlds of traditional tales, myths and legends. Mick writes in a shed in Cambridge, where he can play Wagner as loud as he likes.
