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, it 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 fiction strand helps children to learn to read through the Duck Green School and Variety story strands. Stories, events, and illustrations combine to ensure diversity and enjoyment. In the Duck Green School stories, early school experiences are brought to life through a cast of lovable characters. Children can enjoy their own "soap opera" while learning specific vocabulary in context.;The Duck Green School stories are brought to life in these 12 tapes, which cover Starter Stage to Stage 3. They contain recordings of the Read Aloud extended stories as well as the short storybook texts for Stages 1-3. Children can follow the stories in their own books, with page-turns indicated.
