Oxford Literacy Web

"The Oxford Literacy Web" is an exciting new 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, the "Oxford Literacy Web" 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" strand: there can be no better way to learn to read than through the "Duck Green School and Variety" story strands. Exciting stories, hilarious events, and dynamic illustrations combine to ensure diversity and enjoyment. In the "Duck Green School Stories", early school experiences are brought to life through a cast of lovable characters. Children can enjoy their own 'soap opera' while learning specific vocabulary in context. In "Stage 6", it's Sports Day and Josh is determined to win a race, some ducks have a treat when they come to school, and Cheep gets into a sticky situation.
In the fantasy tales "Cinderella" is reinterpreted in "Leela and the Lost Shoe", "Gulliver's Travels" is reinterpreted in "The Rescue", and "The Emperor's Nightingale" is reinterpreted in "The Songbird". "Duck Green School Stories" introduce key word vocabulary in the context of a familiar setting and familiar characters. The two titles "Sports Day" and "The Songbird" are also available in "Big Book" format, but only as a pack of two titles.
