Advantages: Great easy to use books

Disadvantages: None

Oxford Reading Tree is a collection of books aimed specifically at young children learning to read.

All the books are simple to read and use short words with lots of repetion. They contain lovely pictures that can be used to help tell the story and parent's notes to help you help your child with reading.

They are available in several stages depending on the child's reading ability.

This set of books is from the phonics collection, stage 1+ which is 4-6 year olds.

Phonics are esential to learn in order to help children understand word and letter sounds. Most schools now teach 'jolly phonics' in order to help with this, e.g the letter A becomes AAH. This is to teach children the way the letter or word is said.

This phonics collection is a set of 6 books designed to help children learn to read and learn phonics at the same time. My son was a late speaker and dosn't promounce a lot of words correctly, everything seams to have a T on the beginning so I bought these for him.

Having had huge success with Oxford previously I knew there books were fantastic.

These books are very appropriate for the age they are aimed at and are very enjoyable to read. My son loved trying to sound out the words, such as Bob Bug and Fat Cat.

I would recomened picking up some Oxford Reading Tree books as they really are the best you get.

Summary: Every parent needs to try these books
