- OUP Traditional Tale Reader

The birds of the forest need to choose a king. Turkey wants to be king, but his dull feathers are not impressive. A colourful bird lends her bright feathers to Turkey, who promises to return them after he becomes king.
Does he keep his promise? The Oxford Reading Tree Traditional Tales series includes 36 enchanting stories from all over the world, complementing the original Traditional Tales titles published in 2011. They are a perfect introduction to different cultures, traditions and values. All the stories are carefully levelled and matched to the phonics progression of the Oxford Reading Levels, enabling children to read the stories independently.
The stories can also be used alongside other phonics programmes, such as Floppy's Phonics and Essential Letters and Sounds. The inside cover notes will guide teachers and parents/carers in supporting their children when reading the stories. The stories will delight children while developing the essential reading skills of decoding and comprehension.
Written and illustrated by authors and artists from around the world, these tales are a true global series, perfect for any child anywhere.
