Oxford Reading Tree (New ed)

This is a complete story, with a few simple words per page, and the text and illustrations are closely linked.

It is part of the Stage 1 "First Words" series, and the large format makes it suitable for whole-class or group reading. "First Words" is a set of six Stage 1 titles designed to fill a perceived gap between the wordless Stage 1 books and Stage 2.

They introduce the Stage 1 key words such as characters' names and "a", "and" and "the", in a set of motivating, child-centred stories.
