Author Description

Product Description The teaching notes for the Oxford Reading Tree Songbirds phonics books are full of practical suggestions for using the books with groups and individuals, saving you hours of preparation time. They have been updated in line with the simple view of reading and the renewed Primary Framework for Literacy. They now include guidance for group/guided reading, comprehension and word recognition, and assessment. These replace the existing Teaching Notes and Guided Reading Cards. The storybooks are unchanged, but notes for parents/carers and teaching assistants have been added to the inside covers. These notes replace the existing Take-Home Cards. About the Author Julia Donaldson has written over forty books, including the extremely popular picture book The Gruffalo, which won three major British book awards: The Smarties Prize, The Blue Peter Award for `The Best Book to Read Aloud and the Experian `Big Three Award.
