Drawn from Usborne's Very First Reading series, each of the eight paperback storybooks introduces new letters and sounds through short, rhyming, illustrated tales.

Each of the eight 32-page storybooks focuses on a handful of new letter sounds, layering skills gently through titles such as \u003cem\u003ePirate Pat\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cem\u003eDouble Trouble\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cem\u003eThe Dressing-Up Box\u003c\/em\u003e and \u003cem\u003eCaptain Mac\u003c\/em\u003e. Lively rhymes, warm humour and charming illustrations keep young listeners engaged, while repetition helps cement new vocabulary. The accompanying Activity Book works through each letter in turn, offering simple exercises that reinforce sounds from the stories, while the alphabet chart and over 60 reward stickers give children a visual way to track progress. Parents' notes are included, offering practical tips on supporting a child through these early stages of learning to read. Together, the set forms a structured introduction to phonics that can be worked through at a child's own pace, at home or as part of a bedtime routine, slotting naturally alongside classroom phonics teaching.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEight engaging 32-page storybooks that build phonics knowledge step by step\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGuided Activity Book reinforces letters and sounds through hands-on practice\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAlphabet chart and 60+ reward stickers make progress fun and visible\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eParents' notes offer practical support and encouragement for grown-ups\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCompact box set is ideal for home libraries, classrooms, or as a gift\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRhyming, richly illustrated stories keep reluctant readers engaged\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Authors\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nThis collection brings together stories from three of Usborne's best-loved early-reading authors: Mairi Mackinnon, Anna Milbourne and Russell Punter.
