10 ORT titles taken out of print
Dear Customers,
At OUP, we regularly review and make changes to our list of titles to ensure they are up-to-date, diverse, inclusive, and reflective of the world we live in, and we take steps to remove any products that are no longer appropriate from our collection. We also continuously listen to feedback from our customers, and we take our responsibility to learn and improve very seriously. We have invested and are investing in our team’s development to create more inclusive content and are working with experts on all D&I characteristics to drive improvements on existing and new content/titles.
For those reasons, 10 titles from the Biff, Chip and Kipper series in Oxford Reading Tree have been withdrawn from sale. See the list of affected titles here.
What’s the Oxford Reading Tree (ORT)?
- Literacy textbooks used at over 80% of the primary schools in the UK.
- Over 200 humorous stories with natural-sounding, authentic language that native-speaker children actually use.
- Divided over 10 stages with repeated vocabulary and sentence structures ideal for English language learners.
- Exciting stories with interesting plot twists based around Kipper and his family’s daily life, giving students a taste of the British home-stay experience without leaving Japan.

Meet the characters...
The Oxford Reading Tree stories are based on a group of characters. Kipper has many adventures with his dog Floppy, his brother Chip, Chip’s twin sister Biff, and their friends. Children love reading about these characters and cannot wait to read what happens to them in the next story!
