The teaching notes for the Oxford Reading Tree Biff, Chip and Kipper books are full of practical suggestions for using the storybooks, saving you hours of preparation time. They have been updated in line with the simple view of reading and the renewed Primary Framework for Literacy. They now include guidance for group/guided reading, comprehension and word recognition, and assessment. These replace the existing Teaching Notes and Guided Reading Cards.
The storybooks are unchanged, but notes for parents/carers and teaching assistants have been added to the inside covers. These notes replace the existing Take-Home Cards.
An enjoyable tale that Flo enjoyed reading. She liked the big bird and the genie and she was glad when the dog was saved. She's also been looking at bottles in the house differently since we read the book. Super. Imaginative.
Even though my daughter is only 4, she picked this one from the library coz she liked the 'cute doggy picture'.
There are other books in the series which is evident as soon as we begin page 1 in this book. But the adventure was interesting and my daughter loved escaping and trumping the monster.
