The Fact Finders series is the non-fiction component of Oxford's popular infant reading scheme, Oxford Reading Tree. The Fact Finders introduce non-fiction books to infant children, and focus on developing the information retrieval and handling skills they need to use them effectively. The series encompasses a whole range of genres, illustration styles and subject focuses. The titles are grouped into topic units. Units D, 'Food'; E, 'Where people live'; and F, 'Our environment' follow on from the previous Units 'Myself', 'Families', and 'Houses and homes', all classroom favourites. The units progress in difficulty from Unit A through to Unit F. Links with the ORT story books in terms of content and level are given in the accompanying teacher's guides, which also offer teaching strategies and photocopiable activities. Unit E, 'Where People Live', supports National Curriculum Geography, History, Science, Technology, and Mathematics, as well as developing reading skills and demonstrating different styles of non-fiction writing.

Oxford Reading Tree: Rhyme and Analogy: Story Rhymes: Cassettes (Box of 6 cassettes)
by Roderick Hunt
Published 4 April 1996
"The Rhyme and Analogy" series aims to support children's early rhyme and letter knowledge. Knowledge of commonly used rhymes can be used to recognize and read new words by the strategy of analogy. The story rhymes are built around a graded structure of rhyming words, with four clue rhymes being introduced in each story. The stories are lively and humorous, and introduce the clue rhymes in a real reading context. They are supported by a teacher's guide and photocopiable resources, and are at the centre of the Rhyme and Analogy programme. Roderick Hunt is well known for his popular stories in the "Oxford Reading Tree", and Dr Usha Goswami leads research in this field.
