Oxford Reading Tree: Stage 16: TreeTops: In the Shadow of the Striker

by David Clayton

Published 16 March 2000

This work features further 12 "Treetops" titles in Oxford Reading Tree's series of fiction with built-in progression for pupils aged 7 to 11. Specially written for children who need the support of carefully monitored language levels, the stories are accessible, motivating, and humorous. The series is organized into "Oxford Reading Tree" stages (from Stage 10 to Stage 16), with each stage introducing more complex narrative forms, including flashbacks and changes in viewpoint; descriptive writing; extended reading vocabulary; and more pages, more text, and fewer illustrations. "Pack E" features six new stories at Stage 15, and six stories at the new Stage 16. The Stage 16 stories are real children's novels with an increased level of challenge, up to 144 pages in length.
