'The Start Reading books are a fantastic resource for supporting children with their early independent reading as well as for use during guided reading sessions because they are books that the children simply love to read. They are full of enjoyable story lines and wonderful illustrations which capture the children's interest. They focus on key words and phonic strategies which have helped to develop the children's reading skills and confidence. Our class library would not be the same without them!'
