Based on the CBBC TV series, Alphablocks is great for encouraging early readers. This pack contains 4 fiction books - 'In a Pit', 'Cat and Dog', 'Get a Pet!' and 'Huff! Puff!' Suitable for children age 4-5. Bug Club Phonics is a Department for Education-approved phonics teaching programme that gives children a strong foundation in phonics. It uses research-based teaching methods, proven to work. All books are 100% decodable to help today's little readers get started on their journey to reading success. Bug Club Phonics books are ideal for use at home too, and are a great way to help your child take their first steps towards 'cracking the code' which will enable them to learn to read and spell. Helpful notes on the inside front cover of each book highlight tricky words and give you ideas for before and during reading, and the inside back covers include ideas for delving deeper after reading to check understanding. The packs are matched to the phonics phases children are taught in school by term, from nursery to Year 1: Nursery (EYFS): phase 1 Reception, term 1: phase 2 Reception, term 2: phase 3 Reception, term 3: phase 4 Year 1, term 1: Phase 5 Year 1, term 2: Phase 5/6 Year 1, term 3: Phase 6 Review: Excellent graphics, British English vocabulary - My 4-year-old likes these. For a beginning reader, they are a very manageable short length, with the letters parsed out like โp-e-tโ 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 โdinโ means a lot of noise, and that the books use the word โfussโ to mean inconvenience or hassle, and not the sound of crying. The other words are more familiar, like โbus,โ โpet,โ โsad,โ and โsit.โ Review: Great to practise reading - 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!

Easy for child to start sounding out early phonics
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.

Perfect for early readers
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!
