Just buy them all - you won’t regret it
Gorgeous Collection. This time as a present for our niece! My children have read the books through all Reading Levels and enjoyed them pretty much. We‘ve bought them all. They like to keep them for their children as well. So I think there is nothing more to say:) Brilliantly motivated my three kids to become book worms and now the bookshelves are nearly cracking after many years, but it was worth it:) Very good in school because of their reading skills. Thank you Usborne! We’ve bought many inspiring books. They have been all so useful!

Very good introduction to reading
Excellent introduction to reading together. My LO is very happy to read the first few book. They do get more complicated with numbers going up, but the stories are entertaining and we are happy to read them together!

Well thought out to engage a reader
Arrived in perfect condition. Really like the option of sharing reading in the first reading books, some humour in the stories and more engaging than the school provided ones, so thought we would try a different brand and he is much more engaged with these. (Reception age). There are little prompts at the end to revisit the story and these are great to discuss what we read together. So happy to have got these on offer, an absolute bargain of great quality books.

Must have
Id highly recommend these to supplement a child's reading at home alongside the weekly reading book. My son is in year one and whilst he probably could have picked up the level 3 and 4 books from the second reading library, these books have allowed him to read independently with growing confidence. The stories engage him way more than the regular school books, and he's gutted if there isn't a spot the difference puzzle at the end of the story! Ill be buying the sending library for sure these are a must have

Great
A great selection, with a variety of challenge levels. One minor criticism is that they’ve rammed them into a box that just about fits them all, so it’s a real challenge getting a single book in and out (and they get left out instead of struggling)

Great product
High quality books. Love how it is differentiated to allow for progression as well as provide opportunity to develop comprehension. Wish we had this when my oldest was learning to read. My daughter (4) loves them and can't wait to read at least one new book a day. Highly recommend these and wish schools had them. More kids would learn to read. As it is the books she gets sent home with are inaccessible to her and would put her off learning.

Good set to have
Usborne quality. The set has 22 books for beginner readers, where letters are introduced step by step + others more advanced. My little one is too young yet, but she already showed an interest. Stories are short and cute, and keep the child interested with fun images. It's my 3rd Usborne set and I'm happy with all 3.

Imprescindible y motivadores para el estudio del inglés para los niños
MUy buena compra. yo diría que imprescindible. A los niños les encanta y les motiva. Cada día leemos uno. Están muy bien porque además de que van por niveles, en cada cuentos hay una cantidad limitada de vocabulario nuevo , lo que permite que lo puedan inferir y aprender por el contexto. el resto de vocabulario se repite mucho en todos los cuentos de la colección. las ilustraciones fabulosas y relacionadas con el texto, con lo que te evitan tener que traducir la mayoría de las veces. otra ventaja es que son tan famosos que en youtube hay muchos videos subidos de niños ingleses leyendolos, con lo que si dudas de tu pronunciación puedes buscarlo en youtube y ponerle el video a tus hijos para que aprendan a leerlo con buena pronunciación. las historias son muy interesantes y les gustan mucho. Estoy encantada cn la compra. De hecho los estamos acabando x segunda vez y ya he pedido el otro pack niveles 3 y 4.

Ottimi libri per avvicinare i bambini alla lettura e all'inglese
Ottimo set di libri per avvicinare i bambini alla lettura! Ho iniziato a leggerli con mio figlia ogni sera a partire dai 3 anni, facendole scegliere in autonomia 2-4 storie a sera. I racconti sono brevi, coinvolgenti e perfetti per creare una routine serale piacevole. Unica pecca: i libretti dedicati al rafforzamento dei suoni specifici non sono moltissimi, sono circa una ventina. Avrei apprezzato una maggiore varietà in questa fase prima del passaggio ai libri per lettori più autonomi, che presentano caratteri più piccoli e meno adatti alla lettura condivisa adulto/bambino. Detto questo, il cofanetto resta molto valido: è ben fatto, colorato e stimolante. I bambini si affezionano ad alcune storie, che vogliono rileggere più volte, il che è ottimo per consolidare i gruppi di suoni e rendere la lettura un’esperienza positiva e ripetitiva.

Perfect Bedtime Reading Set for Young English Learners
I bought the Usborne My Very First Reading Library a few months ago, and it has quickly become part of our nightly routine. Every evening before going to bed, my kids pick one of the books to read. The stories are short, simple, and perfect for bedtime, which makes the whole experience enjoyable and not overwhelming. It’s a great way to wind down while still keeping a learning element in place. I have two children, aged 5 and 7, and both are currently learning English. What I really appreciate about this set is that it works well for both of them, even though they are at slightly different stages. The structure of the books helps build confidence step by step, and they both stay engaged and interested. The illustrations are also appealing and help support understanding, especially for younger learners. It makes it easier for them to follow along and guess meanings from context. Final Thoughts: Overall, this is an excellent resource for young children who are starting to learn English. It combines fun, routine, and education in a very natural way. I would definitely recommend it for families looking to encourage reading habits and language learning at the same time.
