Publisher's Synopsis
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, 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.;In the Duck Green School stories, part of the "Fiction Strand" of the Web, early school experiences are brought to life through a cast of characters. Children can enjoy their own "soap opera" while learning specific vocabulary in context. Stage 4 of Duck Green Stories reinforces earlier sight vocabulary and introduces 20 new key words. We also meet the children in Miss Ross's class, including Poppy's brothers, Mike and Spike, and Leela Lalloo, whose grandparents own The Treasure Chest. The books are available in both standard and "big book" format.
