Publisher's Synopsis
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 "Letters, Sounds, and Rhymes" strand is a unique programme, developing phonological awareness and phonics knowledge throughout the infant years. The "Sound Books" are 30 alliterative story books, one for each letter of the alphabet plus the four digraphs (ch, sh, th, and wh). These books provide further sound awareness practice after oral work with the "Big ABC Book" and reinforce the letter sound of the book.
