Nursery and Foundation Years: Building the Foundations of Reading
The Foundation years are essential for developing children's phonics and reading-aloud skills. This collection includes classic children's stories such as Winnie the Pooh and Beatrix Potter. Our Biff, Chip and Kipper Phonics Books also help children learn alongside familiar characters. For those looking for an alternative, we offer the Julia Donaldson Phonics Collection, which progresses from stages 1 to 4, allowing children to advance as their skills improve.
Year One: Advancing Phonics and Reading Aloud Skills
In Year One, children further develop their phonics and reading-aloud abilities. To support their progress, we offer a variety of book sets. Our Biff, Chip and Kipper Stage 2 Set includes 16 books to engage young readers with phonics-based stories. As they advance, our Reading Champions Collection spans from band 6 to band 10, providing short, illustrated stories with activities to enhance comprehension, perfect for Year One and beyond.
Year Two: Supporting SAT Preparation and Continued Reading
Year Two can be challenging with the introduction of SAT exams. To support children, we offer a set of Practise Assessment Papers to help them become familiar with exam formats. For continued reading development, My Reading Library by Usborne Publishing Ltd features accessible versions of classic stories like Oliver Twist and Alice in Wonderland. For lighter reading, the Mog the Cat Collection offers beautifully illustrated stories following the beloved character, Mog.
Year Three: Exploring Interests and Genres
By Year Three, children begin to explore their reading preferences. Our Roald Dahl Collection includes 16 beloved books, such as Charlie and the Chocolate Factory and Matilda, illustrated by Quentin Blake. Dav Pilkey's novels, including Captain Underpants and Dog Man, also introduce graphic novels, sparking imagination and creativity.
Year Four: Developing Interests and Tackling Longer Books
In Year Four, children continue to develop their reading interests. The C.S. Lewis Narnia Collection offers a more challenging read. At the same time, Enid Blyton's Faraway Tree Collection captivates imaginations with enchanting stories. These collections help shape young readers and engage them with longer, more complex narratives.
Year Five: Expanding Reading Range and Understanding
Year Five encourages a broader reading range and a deeper understanding of grammar and linguistic styles. Shakespeare's 20 Children's Stories Collection and The Sherlock Holmes Children's Collection present classic tales in a simplified, accessible format. The Amelia Fang and Adam Blade's Beast Quest series provide ample reading material for fantastical adventures, with box sets ensuring plenty of engaging content.
Year Six: Mature Themes and Young Adult Literature
By Year Six, children often have defined reading preferences. Our collection includes well-known series like Harry Potter and Jacqueline Wilson's books, which tackle mature themes such as divorce and mental health. Young Adult literature, like Anthony Horowitz's Alex Rider series, offers thrilling plots. At the same time, Goosebumps: The Classic Series introduces spooky, adventurous stories.
