Synopsis

Project X CODE is a book-by-book series built for SEN and struggling readers aged 6-11.

Welcome to Micro World, invented by Macro Marvel - an amazing theme park where you have to shrink to get in! Disaster strikes when CODE, the computer controlling the park and the robots inside, goes wrong and wants to shrink the world. Team X and Mini Marvel have a new mission - to battle the BITEs, collect the CODE keys, rescue Macro Marvel, stop CODE, and save the world!

Each book contains 2 texts: Text 1 is 100% decodable to build reading confidence, and Text 2 is at least 80% decodable, including the same target phonemes and Tricky words but with more varied vocabulary to develop comprehension and motivate struggling readers.

Team X and Mini visit famous landmarks in Wonders of the World. They find the BITE in the Leaning Tower of Pisa in Invisible Threat, and search the Statue of Liberty in Statue Surprise. They spot the BITE on the Eiffel Tower in Scare in the Air and defeat it at Stonehenge in Secret of the Stone.

In Pyramid Peril, the team explore pyramids in Into the Pyramid. The BITE chases Ant and Tiger in Another Way In. The others dodge traps in Rock Shock and Ant and Tiger ride a camel in Hang On!
