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.
