"Whether you use Stig of the Dump as a huge comprehension exercise, a tool to encourage reading for meaning, the focus for integrated project work, or all three, this is one program which will encourage children to use skills the Curriculum does not encourage enough of: creative, lateral thinking." - EC&T (Educational Computing & Technology)
Clive King wrote Stig of the Dump way back, but it is still a popular novel in schools. This pack brings the story to life. Learners take the part of Barney in a "virtual environment" that contains people, objects and locations from his house and the dump.
Using their knowledge of the first three chapters of the book, pupils must enter instructions such as GO NORTH, IN and LIGHT FIRE. While exploring the dump, various objects must be located and problems solved, but the Handbook, complete with solution, will keep you one step ahead. The pack comes complete with a topic web for planning, ideas for linked work in Creative Writing, Science and Environmentalism and a map for pupils who find making their own tough.
Stig works best when tackled collaboratively (e.g by pupils sharing a computer or by a whole class enjoying this book-based experience across a network), so the VLE/SCORM versios now included in our Site Licence packs see below) encourage this. Pupils could, for example, be challenged to explore Stig at home. They can save positions to continue back at school and discuss/write about where they found the first treasure (flint) and where they hid it from Grandma - every good problem often has a number of equally great solutions!
An adventure that gets learners reading for meaning. Available on CD for Windows and also, if required, for your VLE/Learning Platform!

"The title is ideal for Key Stage 2 pupils and supports the Literacy Curriculum. It is an excellent resource for classes using Stig of the Dump as a class reader. It also encourages reluctant readers to attempt the reading of the book." - TEEM Click here for more...
