See moreThis is the perfect selection to guide children through the first steps of reading, and there are 50 books to choose from!
The first 22 books are taken from Usborne Very First Reading, a progressive series of original stories developed to help children who are learning to read, based on the phonics methods used in schools.
The next 12 books are taken from Usborne First Reading Level One. These delightful short stories are for children who are just starting to enjoy reading for themselves, with very light support.
The last 16 books are from Usborne First Reading Level Two, designed to stretch the beginner reader just a little more, and are ideal for building reading confidence.
The First Reading titles are an inspiring mix of classic fables, folktales from around the world, stories based on nursery rhymes, and simple narrative non-fiction. All the stories in this collection are followed by fun puzzles, designed to test a child's understanding of the story and provide further reading practice.
Included are:
22 x Very First Reading titles: lively rhyming stories with superb illustrations covering every theme from knights and castles, pirates, and monsters, to a circus under the sea, a racing cow, and mice who build a rocket to the moon.
12 x First Reading Level One titles, including The Greedy Dog, On the Moon, and The Sun and the Wind.
16 x First Reading Level Two titles, including One, Two, Buckle My Shoe, King Donkey Ears, and Clever Rabbit and the Wolves.
