Looking After Gran

Biff, Chip and Kipper storybooks

by Roderick Hunt

Gran is meant to look after Floppy, but Floppy ends up looking after Gran. Read at Home is a new series designed for young, beginner readers. It features all the popular Oxford Reading Tree characters in 12 exciting stories specially written for parents to support their children's reading at home. These entertaining stories, with real life and fantasy adventures, are carefully graded across 4 levels, and contain built-in progression and vocabulary repetition throughout. Looking After Gran is Level 4a for children Building Confidence in Reading - those children who can recognize 30-50 words by sight, can read harder sentences, with less support, and can use sounds to help make words. The story is written with simple but more varied sentence structure and vocabulary with three to four sentences per page. Level 4 corresponds roughly to ORT stage 4-5.

[Emma · Rating 4 out of 5]

Great colourful and exciting book for young readers, it's suitable for children in and around Year 1 depending on ability. It's very short and would be best as an individual reading book or small group reading book. The words are simple and have a wide variety of sounds for children to practice sounding out using phonics as well as sight recognition for recurring tricky words.

[Sian Taylor]

Excellent book for young readers; repetitive without being boring. The funny illustrations also encourage children to keep reading the story.

Great story about a dog on a mission! Good questions at the back including "Gran had told Floppy to stay with the Motorbike. Why was it right for him to leave"
