Usborne Phonics Readers 20 Books Collection Box Set

my kid absolutely loves these books and goes back and rereads half of them because they are so fun with great illustrations! I would get more of those if there ware more available!

great selection of books! my boy just loves it easy to read, great stories and value of money

Really good and engaging for the kids little books set, prompting them to try and read themselves. Top Tip would be - don't hand them the whole set at once - give them one book every few days, keeping their interest and giving them time to enjoy properly every single one of them. I gave the book case too, which has the covers of all on the back and sometimes ask which one to be next.

My little one is still young and is more interested in the pictures, but even if I'm too old for them, I quite enjoy them myself. You also have a qr code to scan and it takes you to a page where you can hear them in audio form in both British and American English. Worth it.

This is a sweet little library of fun engaging stories. They are an enjoyable support resource for phonics lessons or just on their own. Great value.

These are are second lot of these phonic books from Osbourne. These are brilliant reading books my son loves listening to them each night when I read to him and sometimes we scan the back of the book and listen to them online too added bonus.

I do really like this little library, but I wish the books were a little longer. Its really cool that they also come with a scan code that will take you to the audio book as well.

It is good to practice all set sounds.

A great set of books for kids learning to read. There are some of the classic books in here with the fold out pages, and then some of the newer ones too. Our kid loves the stories and it's helping him to read / speak aloud. What more can you hope for ?

My son loves to be read to and could sit for hours with me telling him stories, but he is "behind" his classmates in reading on his own. He comes home from kindergarten with early readers that are as dull and flat as watching paint dry. The simplicity is good for early decoding, but not much else so I decided to mix things up. We ordered Bob books, which are widely celebrated, and these. I balked at the price but they received such great reviews on the Usborne site. I have also had many parent friends in other countries recommend most anything by Usborne. My son hasn't really gotten into the Bob books because he is so interested in these. He stays awake after lights are out to read these with his flashlight. They are supremely silly or funny and rhyme. The rhyming helps him anticipate words and to sound them out based on what he already knows. Mostly, though, unlike a lot of early readers with zero plot, these have suspense and plots twists that are perfect for preschoolers and early elementary kids. He laughs so much when we read these stories, even though I point to each word as we go, which can be a bit of a story buzz kill. Some of the characters reappear across the books, too, which adds to the interest. A good number of these books also have a duck that's similar to Richard Scarry's goldbug that children (and adults) can hunt for on each page. The duck hunt adds to the fun. The pages are thick and some books have fold outs, which are great if your child has busy hands, like mine. My son also loves the box and plays books shop with them (inspired by the picture book Dog Loves Books.) Of course, every child eventually learns how to read no matter how much early pressure schools put on kids, but we have wanted to raise a reader who is passionate about books. So many early readers, in my opinion, turn kids off of reading. They're work. But this collection is the kind with which children won't notice the very hard work they are doing learning simple and complex phonemes because they are having so much fun. Very much worth the hefty price tag.

My daughter absolutely loves these books. The stories are short, fun, and perfect for practising phonics without feeling overwhelming. The illustrations are beautiful and really help keep young readers engaged. It's an excellent set with fantastic value for money. Highly recommended!
