Great book series for dyslexic kids. Strongly recommend

Ottimo per approfondire ed apprendere la lingua inglese sia in classe che a casa con l'aiuto dei genitori.

These same stories are level 4 (blue band) on the Oxford Reading Tree levels that my son uses at school, so suitable for reception to year 1. It's tricky to work out as this Read with Oxford system seems to span 2 levels of the older ORT system used by the school, so some of the Stage 3 books are ORT level 5 (eg Usman's Books). I like to get these books at the start of the school holidays to give my son more choice of what to read. He read these over the Easter holidays in Reception and they were just right, more challenging than the level 3 books he had from school at the time (as we did not realise at the time that these were higher than level 3). He really enjoyed them, so continued reading them through the summer term and I'm sure he will return them over the summer holidays too.

I got this to help my six year old practise reading over the school holidays and it's great, it has tips before each story to help you help your child read it. The stories are quirky and funny, we both enjoy them, the drawings are cute, and because they flow so well with a good rhythm he finds them easier to read than the clunky Avengers ones (for example) which is improving his confidence greatly.
