More Magpies

Magpies is an older reading scheme from ORT. Its original books have become the newer labelled Storybooks at Stages 8 and 9. Magpies Workbooks provide valuable reading and language support for the Magpies Storybooks at Stages 8 and 9. The range of activities to accompany each storybook encourages children to look more closely at the stories, to focus on comprehension, aspects of language and grammar; develop greater rhyme awareness; sequencing skills and alphabet knowledge and creative writing. There is a progression within the stage and from stages 8 to 9.
