Publisher's Synopsis
The Fact Finders series is the new non-fiction component of Oxford's popular infant reading scheme, Oxford Reading Tree. The Fact Finders will introduce non-fiction books to infant children, and focus on developing the information retrieval and handling skills they need to use them effectively. The series encompasses a whole range of genres, illustration styles, and subject focuses. The first eighteen titles are grouped into three topic units: `Myself', `Families', and `Houses and homes'. Unit B, `Families', explores the diversity of types of families. It supports National Curriculum History and Geography, and learning about religions, as well as well as developing reading skills and demonstrating different styles of non-fiction writing.
