The new Oxford Literacy Journeys titles support guided reading with small groups across a range of levels within a stage of reading, ensuring that as students learn to read, they use and integrate the four complementary sources of information—graphological, phonological, grammatical and semantic —to become successful readers.

Oxford Literacy guided reading texts are carefully levelled to support and develop the strategies required by a reader at each of the stages. Follow the stories of children, their families and their belongings as they journey from all parts of the world to make their new home in Australia, and read a traditional tale from their homeland.
