Reading Oxford Scheme

Today we started using the ‘Oxford Reading Tree’ big books. We have six big books to cover until the end of this scholastic year. The Oxford Reading Tree scheme is used throughout all our primary years. We use these books so the children will familiarise themselves with the characters in the stories. The book we started on today is ‘The Haircut’.


                                                    

Detailed description
The Stage 1 Biff, Chip and Kipper Stories, written by Roderick Hunt and illustrated by Alex Brychta, provide both wordless stories and a rich story context to help develop language comprehension and decoding skills with simple first words and sentences. Wordless Stories A and Wordless Stories B introduce the characters and children learn that the pictures tell a story, where a story begins and how to turn the pages.
To give you a taster of what happened in class I’m posting this video from You-Tube. Today we only did the story but in the coming weeks we will be doing other activities related to the story.
