Pearson Learn to Read at Home with Alphablocks: Phase 2 - Reception Term 1 (4 fiction books) Pack B

My 4-year-old likes these. For a beginning reader, they are a very manageable short length, with the letters parsed out like “p-e-t” with graphics boxing each individual letter, that allow the child to sound out each word. Just FYI that these are British English, and have the kids spell words that I assume are more common in British English than American English, for families in the U.S. who are thinking of purchasing this book set. For example, I had to explain to my child that “din” means a lot of noise, and that the books use the word “fuss” to mean inconvenience or hassle, and not the sound of crying. The other words are more familiar, like “bus,” “pet,” “sad,” and “sit.”

I bought these books for my 4 years old son to practice his reading while on holiday. He has the same books at school and it helped him practise while off school. Great resource!

Using books for 3 year old that has started to point to words and say the phonic sounds of letters. These are nice and simple words and words are used in little sentences so child can repeat. Overall a good little introduction set to phonics.

I've been looking for books for my 4 year old to read himself that aren't too complex, build on the foundations of reading and blending letter sounds, but have something of a narrative to follow to make them enjoyable to read. Until now it's been an impossible ask but these ticked all the boxes, and I'll be buying the rest of the Alphablocks series of books. Really impressed!

Great for new readers in reception class. Ordered 3 different sets, for him to practice at home.
