Read Write Inc - Phonics Set 1 Green Story Books - Black and White Pack of 10

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.

Just received it and tested first few little books from the set... looks like it will be a good addition after completing bellowed boob boxes up to level 3.. wish had a bit more pages and could be a bit smaller size.. but love there is black and white option, so nothing is really distracting a young reader.. my child live it, stories are a bit funny so great for reading resistant early readers!

Teaching my grandson who has learning disabilities to read.The stories follow on and get a a little more challenging as one reads through the series of 10 books The good things about this set is that: 1.the stories are short so he doesnt get bored 2.the stories are engaging 3. The stories are like a ‘ Proper’ story 4. 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 hesitation 5 Already brought set 2 and will continue to buy all sets in the series are aHe pays attention when reading

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

Worth the money. You can start with this set even wirhout ditty books if the child has a good understanding of CVC words. Towards the end of the set, the stories include some words which are not decodable with their set 2 knowledge, (like pizza, wand). Will not buy the next set.
