Think again!Women were at the top of most sports until about the 1800s - when long dresses and tight corsets slowed them down. They were told sport would make them ill and suddenly everyone forgot that women of all ages had run, fought, ridden, and played all kinds of sport - it was just missing from the history books. Women were fast runners and skilled boxers. They were playing football, cricket, golf, tennis and hockey and riding horses. Adapted from her best-selling, critically acclaimed series Normal Women, join multi-award-winning author Philippa Gregory as she tells the stories missing from the record. The truth is that MILLIONS of normal women have been doing extraordinary things FOR EVER, and one of them is succeeding in sport.Sapphire/Band 16 books offer longer reads to develop children's sustained engagement with texts and are more complex syntactically.Pages 54 and 55 allow children to re-visit the content of the book, supporting comprehension skills, vocabulary development and recall.Ideas for reading in the back of the book provide practical support and stimulating activities.
