Just wondering in which book band the 'turquoise storybooks' in this scheme are? They sound like they should be turquoise, but I wasn't sure. I picked up a few books from the BookPeople, and didn't know what band they were... Thanks.

I don't think phonics books fit into book bands as they work completely differently

There are 4 coloured levels in superphonics - Blue (the easiest), Green, Purple and Turquoise (the hardest).
thats as much as I know I am afraid. I would probably hazard a guess that they are somewhere around level 5/6ish but that really is a guess and is purely based on the fact that most of the other phonics books I have come across run up to level 6 and then stop.

Mrz is the expert on phonics but I am pretty certain she will say they don't map into book bands.
