Oxford Reading Tree inFact: Oxford Level 1: I Spy a Spiral

What do a chameleon's tail, the centre of a rose and a snail's shell all have in common? See their spiral shape up close, then turn the page to find out where it comes from. The detailed photographs in this wordless book will intrigue children and reveal the spiral shapes in nature. Oxford Reading Tree inFact is a compelling non-fiction series that aims to engage children in reading for pleasure as powerfully as fiction does. The series includes 36 titles which are all phonically decodable, with some high-interest topic words to develop vocabulary and impart knowledge. The imaginative approach and variety of intriguing topics mean there are books to interest every child. The books are carefully levelled, making it easy to match every reader to the right book.
