An excellent full range of phonic usage for these stages of text. I feel children would benefit immensely from the scheme. (St Nicholas Primary School, Oxford)

5.0 out of 5 stars Brilliant books for starting to read! 11 Feb 2009
By K. Greasley
Format:Paperback
My daughter knew all her sounds and had reached the point where she wanted to learn to read. I looked at a number of different phonics books and eventually picked these.
Stage 1 have no words, just pictures, and stage 1+ have simple 3 letter words throughout. There are 6 books in this stage and they work upwards in difficulty, learning a few sounds at a time and building on them.
These books are a brilliant buy! My daughter progressed really well from one book to another and enjoyed reading the stories and talking about them afterwards. Now after 1 month she is ready for stage 2, which progress from the simple letter sounds to double sounds such as 'ch' and 'sh'.
The books are also written by Julia Donaldson (Author of The Gruffalo).
A great series that I would recommend to anyone!!

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent! 4 May 2008
By Andrea Anguera
Format:Paperback
My son knew all his sounds and we decided to start a reading scheme. Since we had used Jolly phonics workbooks, I chose their first level (red). Although he could read them (at least the first three of each of the subjects), we found many cons: (1) The size of the words was too small. (2) Most of the stories were dry. (3) The complexity in the sounds used per book didn't build up gradually. (4) The books didn't seem to focus in a few particular sounds at a time.

Given all this, I decided to try the Songbirds series from the Oxford Reading Tree by Julia Donaldson, and they are much better. All my concerns above are fully addressed in these series. He feels a lot more confident when reading and doesn't find it -and I quote-, `boring'. He even wants to read them again and again, which is great for practice. The illustrations are very lively and we can talk a lot about them as well.

Also the teaching notes included in the Songbird series give a few good ideas to keep practising the sounds.

A great resource, and really worth every penny.

5.0 out of 5 stars Brilliant stories 3 Jun 2009
By Mrs. Juliette Earl
Format:Paperback
My 4 year old daughter absolutely loves these books. They are really cleverly written so that they tell a great story whilst using simple and readable words. She can't wait to read each day now and has made great progress. I would highly recommend all the Songbirds books by Julia Donaldson as a great way to teach your child to read once you have introduced some of the basic phonics.
