A Book Band Question...

[PramFaceBuggyBrain]

Yes, I know they're dreaded, but can anyone tell me which order these books go in for Reception: Pink and Lilac. Which is the more advanced? I've been told that DS will be on one and then progress to the other, but which one first? I think they use Oxford Reading Tree (Biff, Chip and co).

Thanks.

Lilac is pre reading (no words)

Pink
Red
Yellow
Blue
Green
Orange
Turquoise
Purple
Gold
White
Lime
Brown
Grey
Navy blue
Magenta

Ah, thanks. They have white at the moment, which don't have words. Perhaps lilac is similar to that. Thanks again!

ORT colours aren't the same as book bands

Oh! So, in ORT, which is first - lilac or pink? Does anyone know, please? Thanks!
