Oxford Literacy Web

The "Oxford Literacy Web" is a literacy programme designed to guide schools successfully through the primary years. Fitting the requirements of the National Literacy Strategy, National Curriculum in England and Wales, English Language 5-14 in Scotland, and Common Curriculum in Northern Ireland, it guides pupils through the core skills associated with learning to read and write with a diverse range of literary styles within the genres of fiction, non-fiction, rhymes, language and poetry. The "Fiction" section helps children to learn to read through the Duck Green School and Variety story strands. Stories and illustrations combine to ensure diversity and enjoyment. The "Variety" stories extend children's experience of different styles of fiction. They reinforce vocabulary but include a more challenging element to push upward toward the next level. Starter Stage Pack A is a pack of wordless stories for beginning readers to develop book knowledge and practise language skills.
The "Stories We Know" cluster consists of 3 amusing retellings of traditional stories and rhymes by Keith Gaines, while the "Teddy and Me" books are original stories by Maire Buonocore about a young girl and her toys. The books are available in both standard and "big book" format.
