This Start Reading box set is a book-banded reading scheme published by Wayland, structured so children progress naturally from simple early-reader texts at Level 1 to longer, more complex stories by Level 9. Early levels feature short, patterned stories such as Fun at the Beach and Let's Go On Holiday, where repeated sentence structures and everyday scenes help children decode words with confidence. As levels advance, stories introduce richer vocabulary and longer narratives, including favourites like Pip's Pets, Carlo's Circus, Awful Archie, and Detective Dog, alongside further adventures continuing to Level 9, including castle mysteries and superhero exploits. Every title has been compiled with a literacy expert and book-banded to match reading levels used in UK primary schools, making it easy to choose the right book for a child's ability. The stories are fully illustrated, keeping young readers engaged while they practise new words. Because the collection spans nine levels, it can be used again and again as confidence grows, supporting the move to independent reading for pleasure.. 52 paperback books spanning Levels 1 to 9 for gradual, structured progression. Book-banded to match UK primary school reading levels. Fully illustrated stories that keep young readers engaged. Great value compared to buying each title individually.
