Getting to Grips with Reading
These First Reading Books are for young children just starting to read independently. We have chosen these titles to encourage young children to engage with a broad range of books, which will help to advance reading skills in years 1 and 2.
Starting on the first page below, these very simple picture books have just 1-3 lines of text per page. The books on page 2 are slightly longer picture books with a wider range of vocabulary and about 4-5 lines of text per page. And towards the end of the list are a few of our favourite first chapter books.
For longer, more challenging chapter books for more able readers see the ‘Reading For Pleasure’ books for Year 1 and Year 2, or the ‘Getting to Grips with Reading’ list for LKS2.
In the search field below you can enter key words, the title or an ISBN to search on. The search results are displayed in order of relevance. If the filter option is shown then you can use this to filter the books in a category by genre or subject. If you still can't find what you are looking for, or need any help, then please give us a call on 01273 479320 or click here to contact us via our online form
