Big Book
  Five packs are available in the Big Book format. These allow you to read the story and talk about the pictures with the class. This demonstration of reading helps learners to relate the text to the pictures. Reading together as a class or group provides support for less confident pupils who will join in as much or as little as they can. The children should be encouraged to talk about the story either in English or in their own language to improve their understanding of the reading process and the story itself. It is also the perfect opportunity to assess their current vocabulary and teach new words. Available titles are Stage 1 Kipper Stories, Stage 1 First Words, Stage 1+ First Sentences, Stage 2 Stories, and Stage 3 Stories.

  This guide is an essential part of the scheme explaining what Oxford Reading Tree is and how it works.

There is advice on assessing progress, ideals for children's writing, and information on the core books and further reading at each stage.
