The "Oxford Literacy Web" is an exciting new literacy programme designed to guide schools successfully through the primary years. Fitting the requirements of the National Literacy Strategy, National Curriculum in England and Wales, English Language 5-14 in Scotland, and Common Curriculum in Northern Ireland, the "Oxford Literacy Web" guides pupils through the core skills associated with learning to read and write with a diverse range of literary styles within the genres of fiction, non-fiction, rhymes, language, and poetry. Fiction Teacher's Guide 2 gives detailed guidance on using the stories with the whole class, for shared reading and writing, and in groups, for guided work and independent activities, within the Literacy Hour; provides book-by-book lesson notes, includes photocopy masters for all the Variety stories and cross references to the extensive range of support materials for the Duck Green School stories; and contains ideas for assessment and parental involvement.
