Big Cat for Little Wandle Fluency has been developed in collaboration with Wandle Learning Trust and Little Sutton Primary School. It consists of a range of chapter books with increasing word counts across 10 fluency levels aimed at children in Year 2 and 3. Each book builds reading confidence, stamina and speed and nurtures a love for reading. Fluency 6 books have a word count of 4560 words with an expected reading rate of 95 words per minute. As humans clear the forest for farm land, a young wolf spots them and rushes to tell his pack. But the young wolf is always telling stories, and is dismissed right away. Humans never venture this deep into the forest! At the same time, a young boy spots the wolf, and runs home to tell his family. But as a known storyteller, he's not believed. Wolves left a long time ago! Both the boy and the wolf want to protect the forest, but how can these two storytellers stop this destruction?

As a child, I found wolves and other animals fascinating. I was also saddened by the damage human development has caused. I still am. So, the Wolf Who Cried Boy is a story that combines those feelings. I hope that readers not only enjoy the story, but also think about the impact we humans have on the world around us. Is there a better way? And can we do more to protect nature? I certainly hope so!
