Oxford Literacy Web

The "Oxford Literacy Web" is a literacy programme designed to guide schools successfully through the primary years.

It fits the requirements of the National Literacy Strategy, National Curriculum in England and Wales, English Language 5-14 in Scotland, and Common Curriculum in Northern Ireland.

The scheme aims to guide pupils through the core skills associated with learning to read and write with a diverse range of literary styles within the genres of fiction, non-fiction, rhymes, language and poetry.

In the "Duck Green School" stories, early school experiences are brought to life through a cast of lovable characters.

Children can enjoy their own "soap opera" while learning specific vocabulary in context.

Stage 4 reinforces earlier sight vocabulary and introduces 20 new key words.

The reader meets the children in Miss Ross's class, including Poppy's brothers, Mike and Spike, and Leela Lalloo, whose grandparents own The Treasure Chest.

The books are available in both standard and "big book" format.
