Cambridge Reading Big Books provide texts in a size that is big enough for the teacher to give large groups of children a shared experience of the same text and to demonstrate early reading skills and strategies. They are ideal for implementation of the Literacy Hour. This is a Big Book version of the popular Becoming a Reader phase title Tiger Dreams. Cambridge Reading is a major new reading scheme which provides stimulating books and support materials for the teaching of reading and the development of literacy throughout the primary years.
