Steves books support the National Literacy Strategy. In Year 4 of the National Curriculum, recommended worksheets for schools ask pupils to find books on collective nouns. They are few and far between, but they are here! In addition, leading educationalist Barry Teare recommends "A Dissimulation of Birds" for use with gifted and able pupils.
