Perfect for sharing at bedtime and also a great way for children to get to grips with reading themselves as they embark on their own personal reading journey, this massive 50-book collection will quickly become a bookshelf favourite.
With gorgeous illustrations and easy-to-follow stories, the books will allow children to gradually take over a greater share of the reading, building their confidence all the time.
The stories cover wishes, magic and animals and are sure to be returned to again and again.
These favourite books have been carefully selected from The Usborne Reading Programme, developed in consultation with Alison Kelly, a leading expert in the teaching of English reading. Alison Kelly, now Principal Lecturer in English Education at Roehampton University in London, teaches all aspects of literacy. She helped to establish the principles that underpin the Usborne Reading Programme.
Of the books featured in this collection, 14 are from the Usborne First Reading Level Three, while 16 are from Level Four and a further 20 from Usborne Young Reading Series Level One.
