The Yellow Band develops longer story plots to support the development of inferential skills. There is more emphasis on students' undertanding through reading and less use of illustrations to convey meaning. Longer sentences feature a winder range of vocabulary, with repetition used as a dramatic device rather than to build high-frequency vocabulary.
