Oxford Reading Tree: Robins Pack 3: The Village Show
Description
Oxford Reading Tree Robins are extension stories designed to help competent readers practice tackling longer and more complex stories. The stories are based on everyday life at home, school, and in the community. They align with Book Bands for easy reference and are available in mixed or class packs. This series can be used for stages 6-10 of the Oxford Reading Tree. Each story includes Teaching Notes with a vocabulary chart, curriculum coverage chart, and suggested activities for comprehension, speaking and listening, and writing. The notes aim to aid in managing classroom activities and observing pupils' progress. The new packs of Robins feature fresh covers and reset story text in line with the New Edition Oxford Reading Tree. Each pack of 6 stories includes a 24-page Teaching Notes booklet, which is the same size as the pupil books for easy classroom management. The booklet includes a vocabulary chart listing Year 1 high frequency words and context words, and a curriculum coverage chart listing activities and outcomes for England, Scotland, Northern Ireland, and Wales. Individual notes and suggested activities focus particularly on comprehension, and there are sections for group and independent reading activities, speaking and listening activities, and writing, all designed to align with NLS Objectives and provide prompts and suggestions for responding to the story, personal experiences, cross-curricular links, role play, and observing pupils' progress.
