There is nothing better than seeing a child discover the joy of reading. These beautifully illustrated Little Learner books enable children to read using their new knowledge of letters and sounds to decode text. They are carefully sequenced in 7 stages. Each stage is expertly levelled to support children as they move through the stages of learning to read. 
 
Heart words:  The My my I
 
The Stage Plus 4 books review and practise the skills of Stages 1 - 4 and introduces double consonants - ll, ss, ff.  It also introduces the letter 'a' as a word. 
 
The design is quite different, incorporating speech bubbles and text separated by illustrations. Children are now gaining fluency and taking off with their reading.  They love these stories!
