Life Cycle of a frog 2 of 5 (Frog spawn development) (Large Print)
On this page there are three images showing frog spawn development. There is a locator dot shown, which will be at the top left of the page when the image is the right way up. At the top of the page is the blastocyst surrounded by the jelly yolk in which it will develop. At the centre of the page is an image of the embryo stage; the cells are beginning to arrange themselves into the different areas that will become limbs and organs. The image at the bottom of the page shows a tadpole, still in the egg and surrounded by yolk, but ready to hatch. It has a scale to its right showing approximate size.

Life Cycle of a frog 3 of 5 (Tadpole development) (Large Print)
This is a multi-page image of the four stages of tadpole development, set on two pages. There are locator dots shown, which will be at the top left of each page when the images are the right way up. Each illustration has a scale showing its approximate size. Page 1: This page shows two illustrations of a tadpole with its head to the right of the page and its tail to the left. It is shown from the side so only one eye can be found. At the top of the page the tadpole is at an early stage of development. It still has gills to get its oxygen from the water, one of which can be found just to the left of its eye. At the bottom of the page the tadpole has grown and lost its gills. It has now developed so that it can breathe air through its mouth. Page 2: This page shows two more stages of development of the frog tadpole with its head to the right and tail to the left. At the top of the page the tadpole is viewed from the side with only one eye visible. One of its recently formed back legs can be found along the bottom edge of its body and the little bud of one of the emerging front legs can be found to the left of its mouth. At the bottom of the page the tadpole is seen from above. At the right of the image both of the tadpoles eyes are on view. To the left of this its front legs can be found and further left its back legs and tail. It is beginning to change from its 'fishy' shape to one that is more froglike.

Section through a molar tooth (Large Print)
This is an image of a molar tooth. There is a locator dot shown, which will be at the top left when the image is thenbsp;correct way up. The image is surrounded by an image border. The top of the tooth is at the top of the page and the root and jawbone at the bottom of the page. The components are labelled. The enamel, the grinding surface, is the upper layer. Down from this is the dentine layer which is slightly softer and surrounds the inner core which is the soft pulp containing the nerve and blood vessels. Going down to the bottom of the page are the two roots of the tooth which hold it firmly in place in the jawbone. The nerves and blood vessels come from the ends of the roots and go off to the left.

Charlotte's Web
by E B WhiteWilbur is the runt of a litter born to a pig on the farm of Fern Arable's father. When it is announced that her father is going to kill the pig, Fern rushes forth to save it, asking of her father: If I had been very small at birth, would you have killed me? Her father spares the pig, but only if Fern agrees to care for it. Falling in love immediately with the little pig, she feeds him regularly with a bottle, and names him Wilbur. Wilbur is Fern's constant companion until he grows big enough to be transferred to his new home in the barn of Fern's neighboring uncle. Fern is able to visit Wilbur, but is unable to see him as often. Out of boredom, Wilbur begins to befriend other animals in the barn, who often patronizingly instruct the still naïve little pig in the ways of life. His most important friend, however, turns out to be a spider named Charlotte, who occupies a web in the corner of a doorway above him. Her love for Wilbur, coupled with her ingenuity, will save Wilbur's life.

Anna Witch (PDF)
by Madeleine EdmondsonOnce upon a time, and not so very long ago either, a big witch and a little witch lived together in a gingerbread house deep in the dark forest. The little one was named Anna Witch, because witches are very fond of names that spell the same forward and backward. Her mother's name was Ada Witch, but sometimes Anna called her Mum, because that spells the same both ways too. Around their house was a white picket fence with a magic gate that opened only when Anna Witch or her mother asked it to.
Story Chest: Cave Boy (PDF)
by Charles JacksonFor once, Juk the Swift One was still. Sitting astride a tall rock set on a high place in the hills, he was looking away to the Cold Lands, where the distant blue haze of mountains marked the limit for even his keen eyes. Near him lay Tuthi, the wild dog he had tamed. Nose on paws, eyes slitted, Tuthi seemed to be asleep, although it needed but one movement from Juk and he would be alert and leaping. "Story Chest" is a scheme of high interest readers for KS1/2. This well-known series has self-contained, funny and predictable stories. Good for using with beginner readers and reluctant/SEN readers because of the style and predictable text.
