Usborne My Very First Reading Library 50 Books Set Collection Pack Early Level 1 and 2

Product Information

Last fall, he started showing more of an interest in wanting to know which words we were reading while doing stories at bedtime, which then evolved a bit into him pointing out a couple of words here or there that he knew (or didn’t, but tried!). At this point, we hadn’t really done much in terms of practicing reading, per se, but more working on letters, their sounds, etc. As hard as it is to believe, we will have a kindergartner on our hands in just a few short months. I really can’t even talk about it in person without wanting to tear up, so I’m not even gonna go down that road right now, because that’s not what this post is about anyway! So shortly before Christmas I decided to invest in the “ My First Reading Library” from Usborne Books.

This collection is part of the Usborne Reading Programme, which can be used in concert with your child’s school curriculum or as a foundation for homeschooling. The complete programme encompasses three series: Very First Reading, First Reading and Young Reading. Both First and Young Reading have four levels each, and Very First Reading is one level, bringing it to a total of nine. This box set, by renowned children’s book publishers Usborne, features the first three levels of reading, making the perfect start.The next 10 books are taken from Usborne First Reading Level One.

The following twelve books are a great selection from First Reading Level One. Each book has a short, simple story, usually drawn from a fairy tale, fable, myth, or nursery rhyme. The final sixteen books from First Reading Level Two bring in more advanced vocabulary and sentence structures, and the stories are slightly longer and more complex. This selection also features stories from a wide range of different cultures, including China, India, and North America, alongside more familiar rhymes and fables. The stories in the First Reading series have been assessed for their Lexile level, and range from 180L ( The Sun and the Wind) to 470L ( Little Miss Muffet), making them suitable for children between the ages of four and seven, early years to Key Stage 1, or Reception to Year 2. I honestly cannot BELIEVE how well Lucas has been doing with reading them, and he gets so excited to choose different ones each night.

I was thankful to have an opportunity to guide and support her along the way and gradually release my level of support as she grew more confident in her ability to read the stories independently. I truly think that the dual reading component took some of the initial pressures and stress off of her early reading experiences. She knew that she was sharing the reading parts with mommy and she got frequent breaks in her reading. I take it as no surprise that her independent reading confidence and perhaps more importantly, her enjoyment of reading took off as she worked through and especially after she finished the My First Reading Library. Goods that by reason of their nature, cannot be returned - (Items such as underwear, where the 'hygiene patch' has been removed, or cosmetics where the seal has been broken).

If you’re just beginning to take the reading journey with your child, My First Reading Library is a great first step. It’s a great collection from Usborne, trusted publishers of children’s books. There are fifty books included in this substantial box set, covering the first three stages of reading development. They will take you from the phonics they’re learning in schools, through short stories they can read by themselves, right up to longer stories that will help build confidence in their new skills. The box also comes with a QR code, which links to a parents’ guide online. I cannot sing the praises of the Usborne My First Reading Library enough and the power it had on my daughter, my first independent reader. In our kindergarten homeschool, we took a slow and steady approach to learning to read, working first to build a strong foundation of literacy skills to build upon. Starting in our first grade year, we continued our language arts curriculum and we made a very intentional shift to using this set to support her growing reading confidence. As part of our daily language arts, she worked through these readers.

The My First Reading Library includes a handy parent guide to help support you as you guide your child in their progress through the 50 books in this set. You don't have to be a teacher to understand how to use this set as the parent guide and parent snippets in each book will help you lead the way. For even more added support for you and your reader, there are also QR codes and additional internet resources included in the set, making this amazing boxed set a huge value for the cost. All the books come complete with bright, lively illustrations, a clear font, and the confidence that many children and parents across the country have successfully used the series to become fully competent readers. The series is developed with expert advice from Alison Kelly and Anne Washtell, retired lecturers of English Education at the University of Roehampton.
