Description
Finn Maccool and the Giant's Causeway is a humorous retelling of an Irish tale about the creation of the Giant's Causeway. The story follows Finn, an Irish giant, and Angus, a Scottish giant, as they engage in a friendly competition to prove their strength.
This book has been sensitively rewritten to enable children to read it with confidence, while capturing the magic of the original tale. It is part of the Oxford Reading Tree Traditional Tales series, which includes 40 of the best-known stories from around the world. The stories are carefully levelled to Oxford Reading Tree stages and matched to the phonic progression in Letters and Sounds, making it easy for children to read independently.
For parents, the book includes useful tips and a story map to help retell the story together. Additional resources, including free Teaching notes, an eBook, and a storyteller video, are available online to support reading and learning.
