Wayne's Box

Cambridge Reading is a reading scheme providing stimulating books and support materials for the teaching of reading throughout the primary years. Key features include: a coherent yet flexible structure for teaching and learning; a variety of attractive picture books; a balance of text types and genres, including stories, poems and information books; an integrated phonics programme; and comprehensive support materials. Wayne's Box is one of the books in the Becoming a Reader stage of Cambridge Reading. It forms part of a set of nine books in the Fantasy strand written and illustrated by John Prater. Each story features a child who finds a large box. When the box is opened a fantasy character emerges and the child and the character have an adventure together, always with an amusing twist.
