Seal

by Meredith Hooper

Published 1 February 1996
A major reading scheme for the teaching of reading and the development of literacy throughout the primary years. Suitable for children in Year 1 (age 5), Seal is one of nine books from the Cambridge Reading non-fiction strand. This strand has been designed to introduce young readers to information retrieval skills. Six books in this strand have been written by Meredith Hooper. Three of which - Dinosaur, Osprey and Seal, illustrated by Bert Kitchen - are concerned with living things. The remaining three - The Bridge, The Forest and The Harbour, illustrated by Peter Kent - investigate the effect of human intervention on the landscape. Each book uses two levels of text, with the second level being more challenging. Cambridge Reading at Key Stage 1 (Years 1 and 2) includes fiction, non-fiction, poetry and plays to offer children a variety of text types, authors and illustrators and provide a firm base for wider reading.

Pictures in the Stars is part of the Key Skills strand (High Frequency Words) of Cambridge Reading. It is a report-type text which asks children what shapes they can see in the constellations. The language is simple with repetition of high frequency words – ideal for young readers in the Foundation stage (aged 4). There are 20 non-fiction books in the High Frequency Words strand, which provide a comprehensive resource for teaching the 45 NLS high-frequency words. The words are introduced in the context of real texts through three different text types – 'I remember' (recount), 'how to' (instruction) and 'find out about' (report).

Cambridge Reading is a major scheme providing stimulating books and support materials for the teaching of reading and the development of literacy throughout the elementary years.

The play, The Big Shrink is one of five playscript adaptations of existing Cambridge Reading stories to be published in India in early 2002. The plays are ideal for group/guided reading sessions, providing an excellent means for practising reading, speaking and listening skills in a supportive group context. The plays are also available in group-reading packs with accompanying teacher's notes providing general guidance on using the play and more specific teaching points and follow-up activities.
