Getting to Grips with Reading

Showing 1–16 of 26 results

These ‘First Reading Books’ are for beginner readers. For young children just beginning to gain confidence in reading independently, we have chosen these books to encourage and help to advance pupil’s reading in years 1 and 2. Starting with some very simple picture books, with just 1-2 lines of text per page, advancing onto slightly longer picture books (3-4 lines of text), and then some first chapter books, all of which have been developed in consultation with professional reading specialists. The books are all colour illustrated, with short, simple sentences. For longer, more challenging chapter books for more able readers see the ‘Reading For Pleasure’ books or the ‘Getting to Grips with Reading’ list in LKS2.
