Read with Oxford: Stage 2: Julia Donaldson's Songbirds: Singing Dad and Other Stories

This is a good book for starting readers.Very nice pictures also and my son loves this book also I got the stage 1 and the other stage 2 book the skunk and the trunk.

I bought this for my 4 year old granddaughter who started school last September, and is learning to read. I sent her the level one book last year and she started reading it straightaway. I decided to get the second stage when she came to,stay for half term. Julian Donaldson’s stories are tailored to,early readers, and the stories are just as entertaining as her other books. A wonderful way to help first readers.

Bueno

This book is just perfect for reception children who are learning to read. It covers most phonics in phase 3. The sentences are short and easy to follow for the little ones. I recommend it for end of Autumn term and begin of Spring one. Songbirds were recorded to us by reception teacher and it is just spot on. Although if your child is a fast learner and can coupe with long sentences then Ron Rabbit's Eggs might be better choice. To get a feel for it I recommend to go to Oxford Reading Owl website and have a look at free ebook Ron Rabbit's Eggs.

Todo perfecto!

Truly a phonics reading book, unlike most of the other Oxford readers which at each stage include too many words that kids of that stage have not yet learned to decode.Somehow, despite limiting the vocabulary in that way, Julia Donaldson has still managed to create stories that are genuinely interesting and engaging for readers!Songbirds is far and away the best reading series I have seen for anyone learning to read by synthetic phonics.
