Animals in the Jungle

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

Animals in the Jungle is part of the Key Skills strand (High Frequency Words) of Cambridge Reading. It asks children to find certain animals by looking at a painting. 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).
