The Greedy Fox

Worksheets and activities to support the fable The Greedy Fox from Shirley Austin

These materials have been made for pupils who may be working on text level work in class which is far in advance of their word and sentence level work. So although the text level may be from KS2 there is still a chance to develop some of the foundation work from KS1.
