The next laughter-led, science-backed step from sounding out to reading with confidence. If your child is beginning to read simple words but still needs plenty of practice, Stage 2 helps them take the next step without the wobble. Across 12 carefully sequenced books, children learn new sound patterns in real stories, so phonics does not feel like a drill — it feels like an adventure. Each book introduces just enough challenge to keep progress moving. Children meet common digraphs (such as qu, th, sh, ch, igh, oa, and ee), plus early trigraphs (such as ear and air). The sentences are a little longer, the stories are a little richer, and the confidence boost can be enormous. Because the books are decodable, children are not pushed into guessing from pictures or memorising whole words. Instead, they practise applying the phonics patterns they have been taught. That means more successful sounding-out, more fluent rereading, and fewer “I can’t do it” moments. And because this is Mrs Wordsmith, the learning comes with oddball characters, funny twists, and enough silliness to keep young readers turning the pages. How It Works Each book introduces specific phonics patterns (e.g., vowel digraphs like igh and oa, as well as consonant blends like th and sh). Kids practice these in context with decodable words that match the phonics focus. Previously taught sounds are revisited and reinforced to build fluency. Stories remain funny and accessible, so kids build comprehension and stay motivated to keep reading. Why It Works Systematic Phonics: Aligned with the Science of Reading, systematically introducing letter-sound combinations to help children learn how to decode words, and eventually move onto more independent reading. Confidence Building: Children can decode more complex words independently, boosting self-esteem. Engaging Storytelling: Funny, surprising plots keep kids coming back for more. Expertly Crafted: Developed with education experts to match early years curriculum needs. Specifications Format: Set of 12 paperback readers Age range: 5+ Curriculum alignment: Systematic synthetic phonics Dimensions: The box is 14.5 cm x 17.5 cm and contains 12 books. Who It's For Parents supporting children's phonics at home. Teachers looking for decodable readers for classroom use. Homeschoolers who want structured, engaging literacy tools.

Give your child every laugh-out-loud lesson they need to become a confident, independent reader. The Complete Readiculous Readers Bundle brings together all three stages of our laughter-led, science-backed decodable readers into one unmissable collection — taking children from first sounds to fluent, joke-cracking storytelling, all fully aligned to Systematic Synthetic Phonics teaching used in schools across the UK and US. Learning Goals Master phonics from first sounds right through to advanced spelling patterns, in one seamless set. Build the decoding skills and confidence needed for the tests your child faces in school (e.g. Year 1 Phonics Screening Check). Progress systematically from vowel digraphs and consonant blends (Stage 1), through common digraphs and early trigraphs (Stage 2), to split digraphs and advanced spelling patterns (Stage 3). Reinforce every sound learned along the way through carefully sequenced repetition. Turn "I can't read that" into "let me at it" with stories kids actually want to finish. What's Inside All 3 stages of Readiculous Readers — 36 expertly sequenced, fully decodable paperback books in total. Stage 1 (12 books): introduces vowel digraphs and consonant blends. Stage 2 (12 books): builds fluency with common digraphs (qu, th, sh, ch, igh, oa, ee) and early trigraphs (ear, air). Stage 3 (12 books): tackles advanced spelling patterns (ay, ie, wh) and split digraphs (a-e, i-e). Hilarious stories starring Mrs Wordsmith's much-loved cast of characters throughout. One complete phonics journey, so there's no guessing what to buy next. How It Works Each stage introduces new phonics patterns in context, through fully decodable words and sentences. Previously taught sounds are revisited and reinforced throughout, so nothing is forgotten. Stories grow gradually longer and richer across all three stages, building comprehension alongside decoding. Children move from sounding out single words to reading whole, funny stories independently — at their own pace. Why It Works Systematic Synthetic Phonics: aligned with the Science of Reading and the phonics approach used across UK primary schools, so learning at home matches learning at school. Built for the Phonics Screening Check: the sounds and patterns taught across all three stages map onto what children need for the Year 1 statutory check. Confidence Building: children decode increasingly complex words independently, boosting self-esteem with every page turn. Engaging Storytelling: funny, surprising plots (and Mrs Wordsmith's famously ridiculous characters) keep children turning pages long after bedtime should have started. Expertly Crafted: developed with education experts to match your child's needs. Specifications Format: 3 sets of 12 paperback readers (36 books total) Age range: 4–7 years (Reception to Year 2) Curriculum alignment: Systematic Synthetic Phonics Dimensions: each box measures 14.5cm x 17.5cm Who It's For Parents wanting one complete phonics library that grows with their child. Teachers and TAs looking for decodable readers to use across a full phonics programme. Home educators after a structured, ready-made reading curriculum. Grandparents and gift-givers after one big, brilliant present. Learning to read takes repetition — so we've made ridiculously fun the whole way through.

First things first: educational resources must be effective. To make sure that ours measure up, we’ve done extensive research on 1.) the neuroscience behind how brains learn to read and 2.) the best way to teach children to read. What we found is that the Science of Reading is compatible with the way our brains acquire literacy skills and is aligned with best practices in reading education. Explore the resources below to learn more about this school of thought (pun intended).

Something as fun and engaging as a video game can’t really make for a good learning tool…right? An increasing body of research says otherwise. Game-based learning is proven to increase student engagement, which in turn improves their focus on the learning tasks at hand. The result? Happier kids, parents, and teachers. If all this sounds too good to be true, you’ll definitely want to check out these resources.
