Learning To Read

Your child's school will have a reading scheme that it follows. On top of this core reading, some children enjoy learning some basics on their own. For this, we have a number of reading schemes in stock to help them along. You can choose from Ruth Miskin's Read, Write, Inc Phonics; Oxford Reading Tree: Read At Home (which complements the Reading Scheme used in many primary schools); Ladybird Key Words (and Read It Yourself). On top of these schemes that teach reading, there are also a number of series that encourage children to branch out on their own to get the hang of it.

There are a few of these listed below.

Top row: These books have cds to aid learning to read complicated words or sentences, or just for reassurance when your child thinks they are struggling.

The CD contains 2 copies of the story: complete and unabridged. The first has sound effects and music and the second has beeps to mark a page-turn.

Books with CD are £5.99 (inc VAT) each.

Bottom Row: The same I am Reading books without CDs.

If your child is put off with listening and reading at the same time, or if you want them to try the hard words themselves.

The I Am Reading books each have short, numbered chapters and are fully illustrated in colour.

The pictures help guide the reading. There are hints on how to get the most of the story at the back of the book.

Books without CD are £4.99 each.

The Usborne Reading Programme is a collection of over 200 reading books, graded in seven levels and covering a wide range of subjects, both fiction and non-fiction.

Beautifully produced, and with lively writing and fabulous illustration, the books are designed to capture the imagination and build the confidence of beginner readers, and motivate and inspire children who find reading difficult or dull.
