Easy Phonic Words (Usborne Very First Reading)

I got the book for my 4-year old daughter, who knew basic sounds and blending,I also got few other early readers series recommended for her reading level,She loved that book,It was the first book, that herself wanted to read "just one more page" :-)Every page focuses on 1 sound - which was a very good practice for her, and in line with how she was later taught in Junior Infants/Pre-K,Additionally - every page is around a theme, and the illustrations are funny, so she could make up her own story with the words,As someone mentioned - you do need to eventually show your child a sight words, but this book prepared her for blending different sounds, making it easier to progress to sight words and a little more advanced books.Strong recommendation.

Great for teaching your kids at home

Has been good for my son to practise letter sounds and "reading" as he was good at sounding and blending. It's a series of pictures with labels to read, each page focuses on one of the main phonemes (sounds that make up the words including the letters of the alphabet and sounds like ch, sh, th, ee etc.). However, it's helpful to work on high frequency/sight words too which aren't covered in this book as this enables reading of books with a story which ultimately proves more satisfying.Ask for this at your local library first, it's really useful for a short while, only buy if you can't borrow, but worth giving a go.

Excellent book nice and easy for young children to learn. It's in alphabetical order rather than grouping sounds together

Great book for a pre schooler perfect to help with sounds and recognising different sounds

Bought for my 2 year old grandson who is letter crazy. Lovely book. Keeping it for plane journey as fits in handbags

Very good, my son whose 4 and myself found this very useful and easy to use. He loves it

My son started school and he is 4, I got this to help and hopefully the repetition of reading will help. This book is fairly boring and there is no story line. It really is just words next to pictures. His school books are ‘Sam is an ant’ ‘Sam likes to sit’ which is basic, but least there is a bit of a story and the pictures are clear what’s going on. Also this book is long, my 4 year old likes to finish his books but he gets a bit lost with this one. Probably better for 5/6 year olds.
