Oxford Reading Tree inFact: Oxford Level 4: Tree Town

Tree Town begins with a fox den among the roots, and ends by showing birds building a nest at the top of the tree. This enchanting book teaches children about the structure of a tree and the lives of the animals who make it their home. 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.
