Key Words with Peter and Jane is a tried and tested series that teaches children to read on sight using the ‘look and say’ method. Founded in education research, the scheme gradually introduces high-frequency key words, which are repeated throughout the series to build confidence and fluency. There are 12 levels in total, each with 3 books, intended for children aged 4+.

For over forty-five years, the best-selling Read It Yourself series has helped children practise and improve their reading skills. It consists of five graded levels that span Reception – Year 2 teaching in the UK Key Stage 1 curriculum: from Beginner Reader where children are consolidating their first phonics skills, to Fluent Reader where children are beginning to read longer stories by themselves. Each book uses a small number of frequently repeated words to steadily build reading confidence and fluency.

Designed to be read independently at home or used in a guided reading session at school. All titles include comprehension questions or puzzles, guidance notes and book band information for schools.

Actiphons is an energetic phonics series for children who are learning to read. These lively stories practise 70 letter sounds, each with its own fun character and action, to help children become confident, fluent readers.

Every book contains simple activities and tips, as well as a unique code which unlocks a collection of free online resources, including a song, audiobook and animation for each story.

From writing their first letter to solving their first maths problem, Learn with Ladybird activity books are full of educational games and fun activities to help children develop key skills for school.

Ladybird Grammar Workbooks and Dictionary help language learners aged 4+ to understand and practise the basics of English grammar, and to build their vocabulary.

Do You Know? is a series of levelled non-fiction books featuring video content, project work and critical-thinking activities designed to motivate and engage young learners. Covering a range of STEM topics, Do You Know? takes an enquiry-based approach, developing children’s language, communication and investigation skills with engaging, photographically led content.

First Words with Peppa is a levelled reading series of Peppa Pig stories for children who are learning to read. The series is based on the Dolch Sight Words list – the 220 most common words found in children’s English-language reading material. Each Storybook introduces around ten Sight Words. These words are repeated regularly throughout the story. It is through this repetition that children become familiar with the words and begin to recognise them. Any words in the story that aren’t Sight Words, character names or important nouns, are phonically decodable so that children can use their phonics knowledge to read them.

Ladybird Readers are ELT graded readers featuring traditional tales, non-fiction and favourite characters to engage and inspire English language learners. Recommended for children aged 3–11, the eight levels of Ladybird Readers follow the CEFR framework from Pre-A1 to A2+, and include activities that develop key skills and provide preparation for the Cambridge English Young Learners exams.
