Julia Donaldson's Songbirds Read with Oxford Phonics 36 Books Collection Set (Stage 1 - 4)

These were worth the money. Very good decodable readers with multiple reading levels. Julia Donaldson writes very entertaining stories with lessons to learn. My daughter enjoys the books as well as I do. As an American, the author included some British language in it that had to be explained. These words didn’t happen very often, and were also do decodable .

I am impressed. The second time my daughter picked up Top Cat, she read the whole thing. It was the first book she has ever read. She has been working on relating sounds to letters and has shown many signs of being ready to read. She was so proud of doing it on her own. I have only looked through the level one books so far, but they are great. They introduce the letters that are the focus of the book at the front, and the sounds are consistent throughout. The pictures are fun and the words tell a short story. I did a lot of searching for a good set of beginner books and I am so glad I found these.

These are the best early readers we've ever had. My child is enthusiastically progressing through this series. It may seem like a big initial investment which made me a bit reluctant at first, but having known and loved Julia Donaldson's work I went ahead and I'm so glad I did. They're actually a very good deal when you break down the cost per book. We've spent more on single books that quickly lost interest. These books are unlike any others we've read and our child is totally getting it because of these. Thank you Julia Donaldson!

Lots of level readers, good illustrations. Plenty of books within a level. It is important to me that my developing reader has a variety of readers at their level. The bag is easier to use than the boxes that come with many sets of early readers.

These are great books for homeschooling during lockdowns!If in USA, be aware they are British, so there are some language use differences....eg Mum not Mom

Wonderfully illustrated phonics-based sequence of books covering the letter-sound correspondences children need to learn to become successful readers. One of the best series of decodable books on the market. I highly recommend it.

Good for kids that can read BOB books but prefer not to.[update] just realized that I got two Splash and Squelch, with the Trunk Skunk missing, unfortunately the return window is closed when I found out. Please make sure to check the books before it is too late.

Came with doubles of several books. Looked used. The books were still awesome. Love this writer.

Fantastic books to start phoenics & support early readers. The text I'd clear & pictures engaging. My 5 year old has really taken to these.

A mi hija le han encantado los cuentos. Están genial y son muy apropiados para la etapa de infantil, 36 cuentos con 4 niveles distintos.

Great selection of books over 4 levels. 36 books in total by a great author. A better buy than why I saw through other websites.

I bought these to assist my son now he is at primary school. I found the books he was bringing home looked old and they seemed to send the same ones. He loves the variety of these stories. The pictures are so vibrant and they are really helping his development.

My children absolutely love these books, they are colourful and bright and most importantly have great stories that my children all love to read. So much better than the readers that get sent home from school which tend to be a little dull. Well worth the investment.The only criticism I have is that the plastic pocket the books come in was damaged and broken when it arrived as others have also experienced. This packaging should be improved as it holds the books together and protects them when not in use.
