Oxford Reading Tree: Storytape 1; Oxford Reading Tree: Storytape 2

Oxford Reading Tree is Oxford's major reading programme for 5-7 year olds. It includes five stages of Storybooks and Sparrows, ten storybooks at Stages 3 and 4 providing extra reading practice for those who need a more gradual pace. They're lively, attractive and varied with titles like New Trainers (Stage 1) and The Dolphin Pool (Stage 3). The cassettes with their distinguished narrators provide extended versions of the 28 stories at Stages 2, 3, 4 and Sparrows. They help children link pictures and text as they listen with the turn-over tone. A cassette box with 14 cassettes with one story on each side, particularly useful in primary schools, is available at £29.50 + VAT. An excellent cassette and book programme.
