Two stories that build on the phonics learnt in previous steps and focus on the sound and letter combinations: ar, or, ur, ow, oi, er.

Barn Owl is from Beginner Reader Level 0. It is ideal for children aged 4+ who are developing their first phonics skills. Steps 1 to 12 gradually introduce new letters and sounds.

Each book has been carefully checked by educational consultants and includes comprehension puzzles, book band information, and tips for helping children with their reading.

With five levels to take children from first phonics to fluent reading, Read It Yourself helps every child on their journey to becoming a confident reader.
