The Usborne Very First Reading Program
Give the Gift of Reading
Usborne Very First Reading takes beginning readers from learning their first letters to reading imaginative stories on their own with minimal support and guidance from an adult. Each book in the series builds on material in the previous books.
The fifteen books are available in a box set with a slipcase, accompanied by a parents' guide.

From Book 2 - The Dressing-up Box
“I believe the strongest feature is that the first 7 books have you partner a child and adult up to read them together.”
Teachers' Choice Award comment
In the first seven books, adult and child take turns reading, with the child's share becoming more substantial and more challenging in each book.
From Book 4 - Dog Diary
