Oxford Reading Tree

by Jonathan Emmett

Published 25 March 1999
These are further 24 "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 15), 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. Each stage is supported by the "Teacher's Guide", which offers guidance on using "Treetops" within the framework of the National Literacy Strategy and includes activities on photocopiable sheets.

First class fiction at an appropriate interest level, the books in TreeTops More All Stars Pack 1A provide: quality stories by top authors and illustrators to challenge and motivate your children; the right level of content, at an appropriate interest level for Reception children; and careful text levelling to gradually build stamina. Also available are flexible Teaching Notes (ISBN 0-19-919593-5) to provide support for much more than guided reading. The other titles in "TreeTops More All Stars" Pack 1A are: "Robot's Special Day", "The Snow Troll", "Charlie Stories", "The Lazy Giant", and "Squirrel". They are available in a Pack of six (ISBN 0-19-919586-2) and a Class Pack (ISBN 0-19-919585-4), containing 6 of each title.
