Phonics Power! (Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Step into Reading: Phonics)

These books are very small and thin, with simple stories, but for kids just learning to read they're very helpful. If your child is into TMNT then this set motivates them quite well. My 4 year old in reception uses these books to practice reading each night, and finds them much more engaging than some of the reading schemes from school, because it has his favourite characters in it.It's set out well so you can see which sound each book focuses on - like one focus on the short A sound, like jam, jab etc.. so those words will all get featured, and one will be the short i sound, others are slightly trickier sounds, and then you get a couple that are mixed.These are more specific phonic based than the normal step into reading books, and as mentioned they are smaller, so don't expect it to be quite the same as the other stand alone books, but it is a good set for kids of about 4-5 who are learning

I am so pleased I bought these. I've gone from having a 4 year old who absolutely refused to practice his reading during lock down to having a 4 year old who brings me another book every morning so that he can practice. He enjoys these far more than the books set online by his school, proof that one size does not fit all as he is now making efforts to read the story books we have at home as well, which he was avoiding before. Absolutely recommend these to help build confidence and enjoyment

This product has grown on me and I came back to edit the review. Initial impression was that the books are very small and thin. The box is tiny and half of it is filled up by a supporting 'wall'. I felt I had been a bit short sold but my son (5) was very happy with his birthday present as he is in to Ninja Turtles. A few months down the line he is still reading these books and I've come to realise that they are short for a reason, e.g. to deal with a specific sound. I think they are very good and I'm glad I bought them.

These are small leaflet type books, so be aware of that, but to be honest that's perfect for my 5.5 year old. He is in year one, and I'd say his reading ability is fairly average for his age - he's probably near the top of his class but nothing out of the ordinary, and he can mostly read these to himself, with the odd bit of help here and there. So they are the perfect level for him and short enough that he can finish them in one sitting.

Bought for my five year old nephew and he absolutely loves them. It's a collection of small booklets each with simple words making up a short story along with TMNT images. My nephew was so excited and immediately got them out to read... And now he takes them everywhere with him!

My 5 year old loves the pics, so it's great for when wants to story tell but the sentences are almost too simple.

My daughter is obsessed with TMNT! She struggles with reading, so these were perfect for getting her interested in reading! There are 12 books which increase in difficulty. There are 'key words' at the beginning of the books which are a really helpful focus. Would recommend!

Always getting my little to read these to me and she is doing well
