    • The books are of extremely high quality, beautifully illustrated and really match age-related reading expectations.

    • It is really key for me to embed the right reading etiquette to set children up for the rest of the school year. Reading Planet is a fantastic route to ensuring this happens.

    • We love the wordless books and the first words books - which are a great bridge to Rocket Phonics

    • Our Reception teacher is very enthusiastic about the wordless and the first sentence books, and she has had a positive reaction form volunteer parents, too. She uses the support pages of key words and the children discuss the words, which she feels helps with their vocabulary development.
