Provides a range of fun activities to support reading skills such as puzzles and games. Parental support is by tips and practical ideas for parents to use during discussion. In line with the requirements of the National Literacy Strategy, this book contains a CD and illustrations by Alex Brychta.The CD will be in a plastic envelope inside the back cover of the storybook. The story will be read once through for expression and enjoyment and then read again for children to read along at the same time. A sound would signal page turns. There will be a short introduction to the story to think about the cover and what the story will be about and the puzzle activity will be pointed out. The 'Think About' questions will be read at the end. "Read at Home" is closely linked to "Oxford Reading Tree", the most successful reading scheme in the UK, used to teach reading in well over 75 per cent of primary schools. Each story provides a wide range of fun activities to support reading skills: a 'Puzzle' activity in every book to make reading fun and practise looking at detail; a game or fun activity like a 'Maze' or 'Spot the difference' - a treat for children to enjoy at the end of the story. It provides clear parental support within and beyond the book: a "Tips for Reading Together" page, giving parents practical ideas for helping with their child's reading; a "Think about the Story" page providing stimulating ideas for parents to use with children when they are discussing the story; and, a "Useful common words" panel to highlight high frequency words used in the story which have a close correlation with the requirements of the National Literacy Strategy. Highly successful, high profile author and illustrator team: Roderick Hunt, author of the original Oxford Reading Tree stories, and Cynthia Rider are superb storytellers with over 50 years educational experience between them, and Alex Brychta's humorous and detailed illustrations bring the stories alive and are known to and loved by millions of "Oxford Reading Tree" readers. All titles have the perfect format for sharing a book with beginner readers - slightly wider than Ladybird to allow for all the humour and detail of the illustrations! "Read at Home" fully supports government initiatives to encourage parents to support their child's reading. |
