Oxford Reading Tree: Level 2: More Songbirds Phonics: Pack (6 books, 1 of each title)

Great books for helping small children learn to read. If you follow the order on the back of the books, there is a very logical progression in terms of the phonics each book focuses on. My little girl enjoys reading this series more than the other phonics series we have tried and has been progressing well using these.

I have a fair few books to help my kids to read their first words, however I find this particular series too depressing and negative. For example "the seven kids" has the fox in his den dreaming of "Kid Kebabs" which does not feel appropriate for this age group, and which left my daughter in tears. Several other books strike a similar tone. I don't know how many there are in this series, I've got 9 in level 2 and have binned 5 of them.
