"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. The "Letters, Sounds, and Rhymes" strand is a unique programme, developing phonological awareness and phonics knowledge throughout the infant years. "The Rhyming Stories" are six little books featuring one CVC (consonant/vowel/consonant) rhyme family per book. The books focus on developing children's ability to hear the sounds in words, particularly initial sounds and rhymes. The books are produced in big book format for use with classes or groups, and little book format for individual or group/guided reading.
