Ladybird Key Words with Peter and Jane 36 Books Box Set (HB)

This product arrived in a banded cardboard box. The quality and design of the books is excellent. The children are just getting to the reading stage now so we could not wait to get these for them. They are as good as you remember. A great way to start learning to read. Big letters and lots of repetition. Perfect. The girls love them. Highly recommned. Great price point.

Perfect companion to Peter and Jane books

A timeless classic that I remember reading 40 years ago, I recently purchased this for my 8 year old son who sits with me to read these quite happily after school for 10 mins a day. I’ve really seen a massive improvement since we started and his confidence level has gone up 300%

Good memories great little books boys will enjoy them I know I did lol

I bought this set after being given a single hands me down of level 1a book on which my 4 year old son quickly learned to read the nice big words. I cannot emphasise enough just how important and comfortable if makes it if the font and letter size is large for the early learning books (which this is). When I compare with the Mr Men series I bought this is a hundred times better because the Mr Men used tiny font size and too many words on one page and more importantly did not build up on the difficulty of the key words. The key words are great in Peter and Jane as they are simple enough to learn with the use of phonics and furthermore the repetitive nature of it means the child learns. A worthwhile investment that has in my opinion already paid off. The 1960s style pictures didn't out me off but did attract some funny questions from my 4 year old that I had to explain.

As described. Good to see Amazon hasn't forgotten its roots.

After 7 years in special school my son has not learned to read using phonics. I knew he could recognise hundreds of words when he was 6 years old so was a bit frustrated that he wasn’t making any progress in school. Two months ago, I decided to give these books a try and started reading few pages with my son every day. Now, we are on book 4 and I’m very impressed with his progress. Reading the short sentences even helps with his speech!!! I highly recommend it.

The books haven’t changed one bit in 52 years since I used them myself to learn English

I tried four different sets on the market for my kids without much success, then I came across these. they are very old fashioned and probably not politically correct but they really work. They use a "Key Word" system that the children grasp immediately. This is a UK product but there is little difference. It works so well that three of my grandchildren learned to read by it. The copies are now so dogeared that I have bought a new set for my latest grandchild. They are little books so the kids can hold them easily and not very long to read. The delight when they complete the first one is wonderful. " I can read a whole book" Buy them, you will not regret it.

In the late 1990s when I was a child, my reading drastically because of borrowing and reading these books in the school libray- Namirembe Infants School Kampala. I am happy they are still in available. Now I bought them for our twins. They love them

何冊かをすでに持っていたので、セットで購入し直すかどうかかなり迷いました。 自宅で小学生に英語を教えているのですが、かなり効果が表れてきていて、購入してよかったと安堵しています。 ゆっくりとステップアップさせるのにかなり有効だと思います。 おすすめです。

Well thought books. I have introduced only first 3 books in the series to my 5.8 years old child. These are confidence boosting books for young readers. The books are expensive but now I think worth the money spent. I thought the repetitive words might be boring for my kid but actually it helped him to become confident reader. The illustrations in the books are not at all cartoonish, funky or crazy but realistic but fortunately my son liked them as well. My kid is learning to read with jolly phonics in his school. And this book is based on repetitive sight words. So when he needs any help I teach him words with jolly phonics method. Most important thing for me is that once he has leant new words, he insists that he wants to read the whole book on his own.

I learned to read with this set, my children did too, and now I’m looking forward to reading with my grandkids
