Brand New Books, Two books are missing from the set



Summary

If you’re looking for an impressive collection of stories with plenty of characters, topics and tales, then The Usborne Reading Collection for Confident Readers is a must-have for every young reader’s library at home. The series is aimed at confident readers aged between 5-7. This collection gives children a fantastic variety of short fiction books that will encourage and prompt them to read more, but also more independently. The 40 titles included in this stunning and colourful collection are designed to help children grow as readers within the Usborne Reading Programme.

The Usborne Reading Collection for Confident Readers is jam-packed with a broad range of story styles, easy-to-read text, and fully illustrated colourful pages. This unique approach can prompt young readers to find the themes they enjoy most before making a new choice in the incredible 40-book collection.  This set is the perfect follow-up to The Usborne Reading Collection, giving children 25 new books from Usborne Young Reading Series Two and their first 15 books from Series Three. Build your library today with The Usborne Reading Collection for Confident Readers.

Who’s it for?

The books included from Usborne Young Reading Series Two and Three range from Lexile Level 510L (Adventures of Robin Hood) to 800L (The Story of Cars). This means they’re great for children between seven and eleven years old, in Key Stage 2, or years 3 to 6. The Story of the Olympics has been assessed as 1040L and is suitable for more advanced readers such as a proficient Year 6 child.

Having a reading library like this is crucial to helping children develop their literacy skills. The 40 paperback books come complete in a box that will surely take pride of place on any child’s bookshelf. Each volume is full of bright illustrations that make every story a pleasure to read from cover to cover. With this in mind, these books are a great balance between pictures and text, as readers continue to transition away from books that rely heavily on images. They provide a stepping stone from picture books to reading books.

Children will appreciate the fun-filled yet straightforward storylines, while these books are an ideal learning resource to supplement their literacy lessons from school in the comfort of your own home. These short books are an excellent read for beginners at any time of the day. They might curl up with a good book before winding down to bed or use one as a break from the usual mayhem throughout the day. The Usborne Reading Collection for Confident Readers could also be a brilliant idea for a gift and passed down through siblings. 

What’s in the box?

With 40 impressive stories to choose from, you may not know where to begin! Parents may recognise some classic and historic titles such as Gulliver’s Travels and even The Phantom of the Opera, which have been modernised to suit today’s younger, budding reader. Starting with this can be a great way to engage readers if parents act out some of the characters or use different accents to bring them to life. These choices open up children’s imagination to arts, culture and theatre while maintaining the fun of a fiction story.

Among the epic 40-book collection, there are also some familiar and adventurous titles such as Treasure Island, Robin Hood and The Amazing Adventures of Ulysses. You can even unleash a spooky side with titles including The Canterville Ghost, The Fairground Ghost and The Midnight Ghosts. Rest assured, there are plenty of ways to approach these 40 books in The Usborne Reading Collection for Confident Readers and gradually work your way through the entire set. Encouraging children to choose the books they would like to read first can also be a great place to start, and it won’t be long before they are onto the next one.
