This is a new branch for those children who need strongly patterned text and reinforcement of the key words in the Oxford Reading Tree. It retains the humorous element of other stories in the reading programme, whilst providing repetition of the key verbs and character names. The text is handwritten, using a cursive flick, and consists of one or two lines per spread. Each storybook is accompanied by a booklet which contains guided response questions for the teacher or parent to use.
