Description
Book SynopsisLearning loads of facts is boring, right?
Not with this book! Encourage kids to get their quiz on to become the ultimate expert on sport.
This book is the ultimate combination of facts and fun. Each chapter has loads of fast facts followed by a short quiz, which makes it the perfect tool for revising for a test or for becoming the quizmaster of the universe. It covers a huge range of topics, from kite surfing to karate, takes a look at some famous sporting moments and iconic stars, and dives into the speed, skills, moves and acrobatic feats that make sports so exciting to read about.
These books are designed as a companion resource for children studying core curriculum topics. Illustrations, timelines and graphics work with captions and extended texts to challenge the reader's skills in memory, comprehension and reading. Kids will barely realise they are learning when the competitive element takes over as they aim to become the Quizmaster.
The books contain loads of information, but as the quiz sections are spaced evenly throughout, it can make the challenge less overwhelming. Readers can choose to read a section and then answer those questions, or read the book and then attempt the whole quiz in one go. It can be used to test themselves, test their friends or as a ready-made resource for teachers in need of a pop-quiz for their class.
Suitable for children aged 8+ who are studying parts of the Key Stage 2 curriculum. Also perfect for sport-mad kids who smash facts like world champions smash records.
