Bats by Elizabeth Carney

National Geographic Primary Readers pair magnificent National Geographic photographs with engaging text by skilled authors to help your child learn to read. Developed by education experts, this series of books for beginner readers is spread across four levels: Early Reader, Becoming Fluent, Becoming Independent and Independent Reader.

They live in spooky caves, in forests, and even in the dark reaches of ordinary attics and bridges. They flock by the hundreds, and they sleep while hanging upside down! In this beautifully photographed National Geographic Kids Level 3 Reader, children will learn about one of the world’s most intriguing creatures and discover the bat’s unique place in the wild.

Level 3: Becoming Independent books are best suited for kids who are ready for complex sentences and more challenging vocabulary, but still draw on occasional support from adults. They are ideal for readers of Purple and Gold book bands for guided reading. For another National Geographic Level 3 Reader, try Deadly Predators (9780008266714).

“The National Geographic books have been excellent for stimulating children's interest in the natural worldThey provide something different to our regular non-fiction library books because they are pitched at an appropriate level for our children to be able to access independently… I can't recommend them highly enough.”

- Andrew Stear, Headteacher, Milford School
