Oxford Reading Tree: Stage 16: TreeTops: Snowblind

by Paul Stewart

A further six Treetops titles in Oxford Reading Tree's series of fiction with built-in progression for pupils aged 7-11. Specially written for children who need the support of carefully-monitored language levels, the stories are accessible, motivating and humorous. The series is organised into
Oxford Reading Tree Stages (from Stage 10 to Stage 16), with each stage introducing more complex narrative forms, including flashbacks and changes in viewpoint; descriptive writing; extended reading vocabulary; and more pages, more text, and fewer illustrations. Ideal for both guided reading group
work and independent reading.

Phase G Six new stories at the top end of Treetops, featuring top children's authors Chris Powling, Paul Stewart, Jon Blake and Margaret McAllister, plus talented newcomers Claire Funge and Anna Perera. The stories have the breadth and interest level demanded by top juniors, with settings
ranging from the Arctic Circle to wartime England, via a magical football story with a difference. The stories tackle issues that are important to 10/11 year olds - families, change, the environment, bullying, relationships - with the humour and style for which Treetops is renowned.

Reviews

[Natalie Sehnal · Rating 3 out of 5]

not the sort of description you would think "snow-blind" would need...

but my child said she quite enjoyed it but too grown up for her as she struggled on some of the words in the story.
