PENGUIN Key Words: 3b Boys and girls Hardcover – Big Book, 2 July 2009

The Ladybird key words scheme is so well structured. I used it initially, in 1975 to help one of my struggling Sunday School scholars. At age 8½ her reading age was 5½; by age 9 her reading age was 9. We then taught our own children, before they went to school, with great success and enjoyment. Now we use the scheme to help second-language speakers with their English reading and comprehension.

A brilliant series for teaching children how to read. My children who are just learning to read, love them and the beautiful illustrations that accompany the text. Also it is nice for children to read books that are just about everyday life and things they can relate to. I would highly recommend this series to anyone who would like to teach their children to read.

Lovely book to follow on from Key Words 2b. Good clear text, wonderful illustrations. Young children will leave the contest.

This series of books is a great aid to child learning, and already a 4 year old grandson is showing real progress after teaching sessions using them.

I shall continue buying these books - my grandson is reading really well using these - my sons used the same books when they were learning to read - can't beat them!!! Thank You.
