A scheme of high interest readers for KS1/2. This well known series has self contained, funny and predicatable stories. Good for using with beginner readers and reluctant/SEN readers because of the style and predicatable text. Clear and attractive Teacher’s File. Ten new titles this year include The Scrubbing Machine, Splishy-Sploshy and The Hungry Giant’s Soup.

Story Chest books provide a language rich environment where children experience success from the beginning. Story Chest has got it right!
The books encourage early positive interactions between adult and child, which encourage the learner's questions and engage their curiosity.

The Children enjoy hearing and repeating various rhymes. The illustrations are superb. The humour appeals to bot adult and child. The big books are an essential part of the classroom - you can take away all the other resources, but not Story Chest!

I bought this resource because I have had a high success rate when using them at previous schools. I like the fact that there are excellent story structures – repetition, visuals, vocabulary, and punctuation are targeted for early learners.

The children enjoy the story lines – they are fun! We use this resource for whole class Big Book work, and home reading for foundation stage (pre-readers to level 1).

This resource meets and extends beyond all our literacy objectives. Children want to read and love being the ‘teacher’. Parents make comments on how books are enjoyed more than home books and over 50% of the Reception class is on red level.”
