What are Germs? How do they survive? And how do they spread? Germs is a book-banded reading book for developing readers, carefully levelled at Orange Book Band for guided reading.

Illustrated throughout with beautiful photographs, this nonfiction title is suitable for ages 9-13.

Germs features a longer, less structured text with a more extended vocabulary.

More literary language is used with more complex sentence structures.

More space is allowed for text than for pictures. Germs is part of Ransom Reading Stars Plus, a structured programme for students learning to read.

The series has ten levels: four phonics levels and six book band levels (Pink through to Orange).
