The Strange Beast

Oxford Reading Tree: Explore with Biff, Chip and Kipper

Biff, Chip, Wilf and Wilma go back in time in The Strange Beast. What is the beast the people are waiting for? The non-fiction book that accompanies this title is Beast Feasts. Oxford Reading Tree Explore with Biff, Chip and Kipper is a series of paired fiction and non-fiction books linked by curriculum-related topics. Each pair consists of an engaging story featuring well-loved characters and a compelling non-fiction book. These topic-linked pairings will develop and deepen their reading comprehension and foster a love of reading across both text types. This book is one of six titles at Oxford Level 5, which are phonically decodable featuring a small number of pre-taught, non-decodable topic words to enrich the texts and support language development. All the books in the series are carefully levelled, so it is easy to match every child with the right book and enable them to progress.
