HarperCollins Publishers Chick to Hen: Level 7 (Collins Big Cat Arabic Reading Programme)
Collins Arabic Big Cat is a guided reading series for ages 3 to 11.

Verbal sentences of up to 8-10 words with repeating and accessible actions appear at this level. Double spacing is used between words to ensure children see where each new word in a sentence begins and ends. Follow the life of a chicken – from its early days as a chick hatching in its nest, to laying eggs of its own, in this photographic information book by Elspeth Graham. Children can recap the stages of a chicken’s life in the flow chart on pages 14–15.
