The stories are like a ‘ Proper’ story4. Words are repeated throughout the series from books 1 to 10 -this means he gets plenty of practice and gets fluent in reading the frequency words without hesitation5 Already brought set 2 and will continueto buy all sets in the series are aHe pays attention when reading

I have bought these for my son as his going into reception class and these are what they read , hopefully I’ll teach him a bit of reading before he starts.

I really like the read, write inc series. My son isn't covering this at school but we have these books at home for days he wants to do some reading and he'll usually choose a book from this series. I like that they practise the same "tricky words" (the, she, he you, your, are, my etc) through out the series which means he's now got really good at recognising them. The stories are quite short too which works well for young children. The levels go up quite gradually too - the red books were similar to level 1+ in ORT with the green books more like level 2. However my son found Read, write inc easier than ORT as they spend more time consolidating the tricky words so he was able to pick them up more quickly,It would obviously be nicer to have these books in colour (so that the tricky words are in red and stand out - in the black and white books they are a slightly lighter shade of grey and my son doesn't notice the difference) and in a sturdier form - these are more like pamphlets than actual books but they're still definitely worth the price because of the way the reading scheme is designed.The stories aren't particularly engaging or amusing always but this is the best reading scheme I've come across for actually making reading enjoyable and boosting the child's confidence.

These books have been very helpful with the RWI phonics program that my child's school follows and were so necessary during lockdown to keep my daughter up to date. The only negatives are that they are black and white and I've noticed that the colour version has a slightly different word selection for the child's learning focus at the beginning but I didn't let that bother me too much.

Very easy to read and comes in handy for my 6year old
