Workbooks by: Ackland, Jenny;
Part of a series designed to teach very young children to read, this pack of 6 enlarged storybooks focuses on the adventures of Kipper. The strong pictorial storyline of the book aims to encourage oral language and story development skills.
This series is the non-fiction component of Oxford's popular infant reading scheme, "Oxford Reading Tree". It introduces non-fiction to infant children, and focuses on developing the information retrieval and handling skills they need. The series encompasses a whole range of genres, illustration styles and subject focuses. Unit A supports National Curriculum science, technology, and history, as well as developing reading skills and demonstrating different styles of non-fiction writing.
Here are six more of the popular Owls Storybooks, this time at Stage 7, to aid the transition to the more complex Magpie Storybooks, and the Robins and Jackdaws branches. Five out of the six are magic key stories, taking the children to Ancient Rome, Imperial China, England during the Civil War, America in the Gold Rush, and a modern school playground. In "The Motorway", Biff and Chip become involved in conservation.
