Condition: New Format: Paperback ISBN: 9781526319937 Publisher: Wayland Age Range: 4-7 years Overview The More Start Reading Series 52 Books Collection Set is a fantastic paperback bundle designed to help emerging readers build confidence one story at a time. Published by Wayland, this book-banded collection brings together thirteen mini-series of four titles each, covering everything from woodland adventures and wizard mischief to stables, sheriffs and family life. Every book is short, brightly illustrated and pitched at early reading levels, making this an ideal gift set for parents, grandparents, teachers and schools looking to support a child's reading journey with variety, consistency and plenty of fun along the way. About the Books This 52-book collection continues the popular Start Reading programme from Wayland, a scheme used widely in UK primary schools and book-banded to match classroom reading levels. Rather than one single story, the set is made up of thirteen themed mini-series, each containing four short paperback books that follow the same characters or setting across a run of adventures. Children can follow the Forest Family through a snowy cave and a rushing river, join Animal School for tales of a spotless pig and a cowardly lion, giggle along with Wizard Wizzle's magical mishaps, gallop through Starcross Stables, travel the globe with Tales From Around The World, ride out with Sheriff Stan, get active in Out And About, climb beanstalks with Just Jack, garden and explore with Ruby and Merlin, laugh at Freddy's Family, share sibling mishaps with Tilly and Todd, play games in Fun And Games, and welcome a new arrival in Baby And Me. Each book is written by an experienced children's author and illustrated to keep young readers engaged, with large clear text, repetition and predictable story patterns that support decoding skills. Because every title is short, children experience the satisfaction of finishing a whole book in one sitting, which is proven to build reading stamina and confidence. The set is ideal for home reading practice alongside a school scheme, for reception and Key Stage 1 pupils, or as a varied top-up library for a classroom or home bookshelf.
