Part of the Storyworlds series, this pack contains the four Stage Three Our World stories about children's experiences at home and school. The stories are The Lost Coat, The Empty Lunchbox, The Robots and The See-Saw. Each stage of Storyworlds provides a carefully structured introduction of words and language. The different worlds ensure that these are introduced and practised in a variety of contexts. Stage Three, like Stage Two, offers the springboard approach - developing the role of the young child as an independent reader, whilst retaining some support offered by the experienced reader. Twenty-two new key words are introduced. The opening page of each story provides simple text for the teacher or older child to read. The child then reads the rest of the story. The repetitive language allows for the confident development of word-recognition skills.
