Read it Yourself with Ladybird Collection 50 Books Box Set Pack (Level 1, 2, 3, 4)

We had used Ladybird readers every now and then, but buying the set, so that we could go through the books systematically, has really helped our son make progress over the summer. We feel much more on top of supporting literacy outside of school now we have these, and the set works out far cheaper than buying each book individually.

I brought these for my 5 year old to read over the summer holidays because I didn't want to use Biff and Chip because they use those at school (he's just finished his reception year)They are great booksReally nice for this level of book to be an actual story especially as there is a great mixture of classics (Cinderella, the gingerbread man, the enormous turnip) as well as modern alternatives from tv like Peppa Pig, Charlie and Lola and Harry and his bucket of dinosaurs.They come in 4 levels and my son has enjoyed levels 1 and 2 and although he can get through level 3 they're a bit long for him at the moment so there is plenty of growth room for him to enjoy the rest of these books as he develops.He enjoys choosing one from the box himself (which is WAY too small and impossible to get books out of unless you remove some) and has even re-read some he's really enjoyed.The illustrations are really good at helping decipher the story and the questions at the back ensure they've followed the book.Definitely the best early readers I've found and way way cheaper in this set than buying them individually, I think I paid £4 for one in smiths before I found this set.

This is fantastic set of books for children just starting school. There are several books at each level (1-4) so children can access more books as their reading improves.We have this set for our children and have bought several for others over the years - all parents and children have agreed that it is a great gift and has really encouraged the children's enjoyment at learning to read for themselves. There is a really good selection of stories, so there will be sure to be plenty to interest the children reading them. It may seem expensive, but considering it is for 50 books I think it is actually very good value.

Fantastic book set, I bought them for my 4 year old just before starting school. When they first arrived I thought they would be much too hard for her - she was reading 'cat on the mat' type stories at the time - but she loved them, the fairy tales really interested her and she flew through them all. the repetition in the early books is great for helping build confidence with longer words and she loved having real stories & identifiable characters. She's now reading fluently & loving to read by herself & too her younger sister too (and she's still only 4!) Have told everyone I know to buy these, I Can't recommend them enough. I wish more early reading books were as engaging and well done as these - thank you

There is a good variety of subjects in these books. Good different reading levels and stories interesting to reader

Grandkids love them, although youngest two can't read yet they enjoyed telling me about the pictures. Good value for money.

I just love these books, the fact that they come in stages and levels you can increase the level of your child’s learning. Step-by-step they come with a set of 15 in each level. Just love it

My kids love the collection and the mix of fact and fiction. Good value too.
