Oxford Literacy has been specifically designed to support guided reading in the first three years of school. The Oxford Literacy fiction and non-fiction guided reading texts recognise that a guided reading group in a ‘real’ classroom never has every student on the same level; therefore, the texts and supporting teaching versions allow educators to work with small groups of students across a range of levels within their stage of reading.

Because Oxford Literacy is a guided reading program, a single title has limited use in a classroom; therefore, it is recommended that educators use multiple copies of a title in guided reading groups to achieve maximum benefit from Oxford Literacy.

Each Oxford Literacy text includes information on the following:
•    Stage of the reader
•    Text level
•    Word count
•    Text type
•    Theme
•    Oxford Wordlist high frequency words
•    Key visual communicators
•    Purpose of the visuals
