Publisher's Synopsis
Part of the "Storyworlds" series, this pack contains six copies of each of the 16 Stage Three storybooks, from the different worlds: "Our World", "Fantasy World", "Animal World" and "Once-Upon-a-Time World".;Each stage of "Storyworlds" provides a carefully structured introduction of words and language. The different worlds ensure that these are introduced and practised in a variety of contexts. Stage Three adopts the "springboard" approach, which aims to develop the role of the young child as an independent reader, whilst retaining some support offered by the experienced reader. Twenty-two key words are reinforced in every story, and the opening page of each one offers simply told text to be read by the teacher, to introduce the characters and set the scene for the story. The young child then reads the rest of the story. The repetitive language allows for the confident development of word-recognition skills.;The stories are "The Lost Coat", "The Empty Lunchbox", "The Robots", "The See-Saw", "Mr Marvel and the Car Spell", "Mr Marvel and the Cake Spell", "Mr Marvel and the Washing Spell", "Mr Marvel and the Lemonade Spell", "Frisky and the Cat", "Frisky and the Ducks", "Frisky Wants to Sleep", "Frisky Plays a Trick", "The Boy Who Cried Wolf", "The Selfish Dog", "The Three Billy Goats" and "The Hare and the Tortoise".
