Usborne Very First Reading
Usborne Very First Reading is based on the principles of synthetic phonics, which is one of several phonics-based approaches teachers commonly use when teaching children to read.
Reading is both the key to success at school and the source of a lifetime’s pleasure. Usborne Very First Reading helps children develop the skills and motivation they need to read with confidence and enjoyment.
Usborne Very First Reading takes beginning readers from learning their first letters to reading imaginative stories on their own with minimal support and guidance from an adult. Each book in the series builds on material in the previous books.
It offers:
-
the appeal of imaginative rhyming stories and irresistible illustrations
-
the support of a well-researched framework
-
the enjoyment of shared reading with an adult
All fifteen Usborne Very First Reading titles are available as a box set in an attractive slipcase, along with a free parents' guide to synthetic phonics and helping a child learn to read.
The fifteen books support the early years of learning to read and will help give your child a great start.
In the first seven books, adult and child take turns reading, with the child's share becoming more substantial and more challenging in each book.
Starting with Book 8, the child reads the whole story with the adult providing help and support if needed.
