Ella is nervous about her first school trip – to a museum. Where will she sit? Where will she have lunch? There are so many things she feels worried about … but maybe with the help of her friend, Josh, she will enjoy the trip after all.

Reading Champion offers independent reading books for children to practise and reinforce their developing reading skills.

Fantastic, original stories are accompanied by engaging artwork and a reading activity. Each book has been carefully graded so that it can be matched to a child’s reading ability, encouraging reading for pleasure.

This story is part of Reading Champion, a series carefully linked to book bands to encourage independent reading skills, developed with Dr Sue Bodman and Glen Franklin of UCL Institute of Education (IOE)
