  In the Variety Stage 8 books, Anne Adeney describes the adventures of Una the unicorn who helps the good Timberlins to avoid the mischief of the nasty Grumps, and Frances Usher tells the story of Moneypenny, the Yorkshire terrier, who is a small dog with very big ideas. Variety books provide a support and an extension of reading skills acquired from reading Duck Green School Stories . They are divided into consolidation stories ( Una's Spelling Test , Grizzlegrump's Revenge , First Leaf Festival ) and extension stories ( Moneypenny Goes Camping , Moneypenny and the Pond , Moneypenny's Big Walk ). They can be used for shared or guided reading in the Literacy Hour.

  The Oxford Literacy Web is an exciting new literacy programme designed to guide schools successfully through the primary years. Fitting the requirements of the National Literacy Strategy, National Curriculum in England and Wales, English Language 5-14 in Scotland, and Common Curriculum in Northern Ireland, the Oxford Literacy Web guides pupils through the core skills associated with learning to read and write with a diverse range of literary styles within the genres of fiction, non-fiction, rhymes, language, and poetry. The Fiction strand: there can be no better way to learn to read than through the Duck Green School and Variety story strands. Exciting stories, hilarious events, and dynamic illustrations combine to ensure diversity and enjoyment. In the Duck Green School stories, early school experiences are brought to life through a cast of lovable characters. Children can enjoy their own 'soap opera' while learning specific vocabulary in context. The Starter Stage is a mixture of wordless books and books with minimal text, introducing the reception class at Duck Green School and their teacher, Mrs Best. The books are available both in standard and 'big book' format.
