Variety books provide a support and an extension of reading skills acquired from reading Duck Green School Stories. They are divided into consolidation stories and extension stories. They cover a wide range of genres, authors and writing styles. The Stage 3 Consolidation cluster ("Little Dragon Stories" by Alison Hawes) consists of 3 amusing stories about Litte Dragon and her baby brother, illustrated by Kay Widdowson. These stories consolidate the vocabulary learned in the Stage 3 Duck Green Stories. The Stage 3 Extension cluster ("Deep Sea Stories" by Nicola Moon) consists of 3 stories about the antics of a group of sea creatures, illustrated by Robert McPhillips. These stories extend vocabulary from Stage 3 Duck Green Stories. The books are available in both standard and 'big book' format.
