This edition updated to include teaching materials for the four Greatest Stories titles published in 2018. The TreeTops Greatest Stories series, edited by Michael Morpurgo, contains 39 retellings by top children's authors of key enduring stories from our shared literary heritage. The Greatest Stories Teaching Handbook Upper Junior has been created to provide expertly written and flexible support to maximize the wealth of teaching potential in the TreeTops Greatest Stories series. There are specific notes for all the titles in Oxford Levels 14 to 20 (21 titles), plus three Photocopy Masters per title. Additionally, there are generic notes about the teaching of classic texts and Photocopy Masters. The Handbook is equally suitable for those pursuing a whole-class or mastery teaching approach and those teaching children in small groups. Teaching sections include: themes and ideas, key comprehension questions, activating prior knowledge, use of language, vocabulary, inference, grammar and punctuation and SATs-style written tasks, all with assessment guidance. There are also creative and exciting ideas for presentations and debates to inspire your class further. The Greatest Stories Teaching Handbook is correlated to all UK curricula.
