This is a Home Learning Branch for Hidden Figures: The True Story of Four Black Women and the Space Race.  These branches are designed to support home learners to access literature-based learning using a selection of books we love from Writing Roots.  They include purposeful writing suggestions, links to the wider curriculum so that texts can be used across other subjects, key questions as well as spelling or phonics investigations.

A Spelling Seed is available for Hidden Figures.
