Part of the "Storyworlds" series, this is a pack of the four Stage Six stories about fantasy characters. Each story reinforces between 20 and 40 new words, and adopts a broadening approach, to encourage the move to independent reading. Continued repetition of text should help build confidence.

This fantastic range of fiction for Shared, Guided and Independent reading gives you stories your children will love to read over and over again. Gaelic and Scottish teaching support also accompanies this reading series.

Three feisty, fun-loving Anglo-Asian sisters rule the roost over their dad since their mum died. They've got a reputation at school for being the coolest, most sorted babes in town - and what they certainly DON'T need is an interfering Auntie-ji from India inviting herself over to England and cramping their style. Which is exactly what their dad organizes-The girls decide the only way out of this nagging-adult dilemma is an arranged marriage - for their auntie! Enter Mr Arora, the dream boat teacher who just might whisk Auntie off in his arms and into the sunset. (They hope!)

This pack includes stories and word practice books for stage 6 of the "Storyworlds" guided reading series. The gradual increase and repetitive pattern of the text aims to help children learn to tackle longer stories, meet new language features, develop reading skills and improve reading confidence.
