Accompanying the specially-commissioned White Wolves fiction range, which has been written in consultation with the Centre for Literacy in Primary Education, each of these books contains five literacy lesson plans and five photocopiable activities for each of the three graded story books in the Year 3 and 4 strands. The activities are designed for guided reading sessionsin schools, in which each class is divided into groups of children witha comparable level of reading experience. The teacher spends timehelping each group to negotiate a book specially chosen to match theirexperience level, and also sets the children literacy activities whichthey can work through by themselves. Guided reading helps children develop strategies for reading which enable them to become independent readers.
