Part of the "Storyworlds" series, this pack contains the four Stage Four "Once-Upon-a-Time World" stories: "The Ant and the Dove", "The Sun and the Wind", "Little Rabbit" and "Town Mouse and Country Mouse". Each stage of "Storyworlds" provides a carefully structured introduction of words and language. The different worlds ensure that these are introduced and practised in a variety of contexts. Stages Four, Five and Six adopt a broadening structure to encourage the move to independent reading. Between 20 and 40 new words are added at each of these three stages, and continued repetition of text helps to maintain the build-up of confidence.

This pack includes stories and word practice books for stage 4 of the "Storyworlds" guided reading series. The gradual increase and repetitive pattern of the text aims to help children learn to tackle longer stories, meet new language features, develop reading skills and improve reading confidence.
