Books with author Joanna Troughton

Cambridge Reading Big Books provide texts in a size that is big enough for the teacher to give large groups of children a shared experience of the same text and to demonstrate early reading skills and strategies. They are ideal for implementation of the Literacy Hour. This is a Big Book version of the popular Becoming a Reader phase title The Chinese New Year. Cambridge Reading is a major new reading scheme which provides stimulating books and support materials for the teaching of reading and the development of literacy throughout the primary years.

Suitable for children in Year 1 (age 5), The Story of Running Water is from the Cambridge Reading genre strand Stories from a Range of Cultures. The stories draw on myths, legends, folk tales and fairy stories, including Aesop's Fables. The Story of Running Water is one of three stories that have been retold in contemporary language and illustrated with distinctive pictures by Joanna Trougton. Set in South America, this story is about the fox who won't share water with the other animals. One day, the fox is caught out and water escapes into rivers and streams across the forest. Cambridge Reading at Key Stage 1 (Years 1 and 2) offers fiction, non-fiction, poetry and plays to introduce children to a variety of text types, authors and illustrators and provide a firm base for wider reading. This pack of 6 is for guided group reading.
