Oxford Reading Tree MagicPage (Series)

The Oxford Reading Tree MagicPage takes the literacy activities offered by Oxford Reading Tree to a whole new level. With the MagicPage on your whiteboards the whole class can discuss the stories they see on the screen, watch film clips of the author and illustrator talking about the story, click on hotspots in the story to activate phonic and word recognition activities, ask characters questions, explore settings and activate other language comprehension activities, edit the story on screen and even change characters, plot, vocabulary and story endings. With user-friendly support material, you can move seamlessly from work on the whiteboard to phonics and comprehension on paper, with Storybooks, fun I Can books for use in independent work and easy-to-use Teaching Guides.

How to use Oxford Reading Tree MagicPage in your classroom (342kb)

"It is a joy to watch the children, retell the stories about their favourite Oxford Reading Tree characters with such enthusiasm, whilst confidently navigating through an electronic book to an audience. MagicPage has greatly improved the children's quality of story-telling in a matter of weeks." - Liz Mason, Reception, Stockport

"MagicPage is innovative in that it is the first program we have used that allows the characters to interact with the children and share their thoughts and feelings. We have used hot seating in the classroom but never seen it done by a book character before. It is also innovative in that there is always a cross-curricular video linked to the story subject involving real children which the children can relate to - beyond the relam of Biff and Chip!" - Amanda Whittingham, Literacy AST, Blackburn
