Galactus to produce site for Oxford Reading Tree
Oxford Reading Tree and TreeTops are carefully constructed reading programmes read to a multitude of primary school children published by Oxford University Press.
This vast series of books features popular characters such as Biff, Chip, Kipper, Wilma, Wilf, Nadim and Galactus has been asked to create a new, dedicated site aimed at teachers called Time Chronicles stories.
Main aims will be to showcase these new books/iconic characters and convey the fact the books have much more to offer at an older level of reading Key Stage 2 (7 - 9 year olds) as all the characters featured are no longer seven and have got older too.
Key objectives will be to make the site colourful and eye-catching whilst still showing all the information in a clear readable way that will make teachers feel these books will work in the classroom too.
