Nice stories
I found this book just right for a new reader. The short stories are well thought out and use small words that a child beginning to read can attempt. It gave my 4 year old more confidence in reading as he could read a real book. I really liked the illustrations aswell as the stories themselves. It is an enjoyable read and would recommend.

Brilliant!
I bought this in the middle of January for my 5 & struggling 6 year old who seemed to have very little interest when we tried to help him learn to read. The teaching tips at the start of each story are so helpful. The songbird books are absolutely the best! I have bought a lot of different phonic learn to read books over the last few years & these are the ones that have made the biggest difference with both of our children. I am so happy to say that very quickly our 6 year old has now worked his way through 2 of the level 2 & is now on the level 3 songbird books. All with ease & is enjoying reading rather than being afraid of it. Some of the stories are quite funny the kids really enjoy reading them. We could not be happier or prouder. I highly recommend these books.

Great for preschoolers
We're working on reading and blending sounds. The stories keep my wiggly little one engaged enough to stick through a whole story. Simple words for her level, cvc blends. I like how each story reviews the letters and sounds prior to starting and walls the parent through the lesson. We bought the work book to go along with it too.

Fun and engaging read for beginners
The stories are quite short and fun. Great for early learners who are just stringing letters together and making words and sentences. It’s been a great start for my 6 year old who has been struggling a bit with reading by themself and this has really boosted their confidence in translating their knowledge into a visible outcome.

Best books for beginners
Perfect book for beginning to read for young children. Short sentences made for children to read independently and give the amazing confidence boost that’s needed for learning to read. Worked amazing with my daughter she’s now 6 reading at a level for great 2 with these books she started 2 years ago and now my son is beginning to read with these books. Best books to buy for my any children.
