Samples Preview sample pages from A Wild Race in the Sun. About the MainSails series MainSails offers 24 titles for each year level between Years 3-6. Titles are all presented in a magazine-style format and provide specific modelling of text types, including fantasy, mystery, reports, explanations and narratives. Investigations of literary devices are essential for developing students as effective writers with their own writing style. Oral reading and comprehension skills are also nurtured. 'Thinking About The Text' elements are built into each book and encourage students to clarify their understanding of the text by relating it to their own experience (text to self), similar or different books they've read (text to text) and situations that occur in the world (text to world). A teacher resource CD is available to support MainSails at each year level, containing guide notes and blackline masters.
