"The Stage 3 Phonic Stories Talking Stories CD-ROM" features the "Oxford Reading Tree" characters in six phonic stories with exciting activities to help children practise phonics. Each page of the "Stage 3 First Phonics" books is presented on screen. The child moves through each story on screen by clicking on a button using the mouse. Roderick Hunt's text is narrated either as a whole page, individual sentence or individual word depending on choice, with each word being highlighted individually as narrated.

Following on from each of the stories are Write, Read and Listen Activities specifically designed for each title, with the words and phonics already encountered in the story. In addition to the six "First Phonics Talking Stories" and their individual activities, there are three lively new Phonics Fun activities: Wilf's Word Machine, Wilma's Rhymes and Snap. These are accessed via a separate menu and with their own set of comprehensively variable Teacher Options. Each activity has two levels of difficulty and uses a variety of words and pictures.
There is a comprehensive "User Guide" with each CD-ROM. The features include: animation and sound effects of Alex Brychta's page-by-page illustrations; interactive Write, Read and Listen activities for each of the 6 story titles; three new and exciting Phonics Fun activities accessed via a separate menu with comprehensive Teacher Options; and supports ICT in the classroom.
