These are six stories in the branch of Oxford Reading Tree designed for those children who need strongly patterned text and reinforcement of key words, this time at Stage 3. Longer than the Wrens and the More Wrens at Stage 2, they focus on both key words and some other high frequency verbs. The little books are accompanied by an extended story booklet, giving a longer version of the story to enable parents and teachers to contextualize the story and increase understanding and enjoyment. A set of big books is also available to support the introduction of the stories in the classroom.
