A further 24 Treetops titles in Oxford Reading Tree's series of fiction with built-in progression for pupils aged 7 to 11. Specially written for children who need the support of carefully monitored language levels, the stories are accessible, motivating, and humorous. The series is organized into Oxford Reading Tree stages (from Stage 10 to Stage 14), with each stage introducing more complex narrative forms, extended reading vocabulary, and more text per page.
Each stage is supported by the Teacher's Guide, which offers guidance on using Treetops to assess children's reading ability, and includes a variety of activities, many on photocopiable sheets.
