The Oxford Reading Tree comes to radio! The stories are read by award-winning actress Imelda Staunton and are richly supported by music and sound effects - bringing to life the adventures of Kipper, Biff, Chip and their friends.
The series provides an inspiring complimentary resource to the books themselves. Programmes are designed for flexible use, allowing children to listen before independent reading, or read the text as they listen (the programmes follow the exact words of the original stories). An ideal resource for developing infants' listening and reading skills.
