Oxford Reading Tree: Stage 12: TreeTops: Here Comes Trouble
Description
This story is part of the 'Oxford Reading Tree' series, designed for children aged seven to 11 who require support with carefully-monitored language levels. The series, which includes 18 Treetops titles, aims to be accessible, motivating, and humorous. It features built-in progression within the stages from stage 10 to stage 14, each introducing more complex narrative forms such as flashbacks, changes in viewpoint, descriptive writing, and an extended reading vocabulary. The text becomes denser with more pages, more text, and fewer illustrations as the stages advance. Each stage is accompanied by a teacher's guide, which provides strategies for using Treetops to assess children's reading skills and contains a variety of activities, including many that can be photocopied.
