If we haven’t said it already, we will say it again—reading is extremely important for children! Exposure to good, age-appropriate books is crucial for younglings who are learning to read, through their formative years. 

Books expose children to new worlds and new words, improve their vocabulary and help them discover new ways of using language. Books also help children learn general information about the world, which makes it easier for them to navigate the world and learn about new subjects and objects.

It is important that you give your children access to the best, most age-appropriate books available. Precisely why, we at Books2Door have curated this collection of learning to read books for children starting at 0-years-of-age right up to 9-years-old where they can be independent readers. 

Usborne First Phonics Reading Library 20 Books Set for children between the ages 0 to 5. My First Phonics Reading Library from Usborne is a fantastic introduction for your child to the world of reading. These books use simple rhyming language and essential vocabulary to help kids learn how the sounds they make relate to the words on the page. Every volume in this twenty book collection set is fully illustrated, with fourteen books by David Semple and six books by Fred Blunt. Children in the age bracket will love the charming illustrations and vibrant use of colour, and this in turn will make them want to learn.

Among the many funny stories are Underpants for Ants, where a mouse has to knit underwear for the chilly ants. There’s also Spider in a Glider, where the intelligent arachnid inventor has to turn her many hands to heroism. And who could forget Seal at the Wheel, where a speeding seal learns the hard way about careful driving. Children are going to love these unforgettable tales; that will help them learn how words work together in sentences. They'll be able to build their vocabulary while learning about animals, colours, shapes and more. Your child will love each story as they learn in an engaging manner that keeps them entertained throughout the entire book. This collection is perfect for parents who want their kids to grow up loving books as much as they do. And it's never too early to start building those lifelong skills!

This collection can truly help ease children’s minds and help them develop their reading skills.

Learning to read Level 1 Reading Ladder books are designed for new readers, and help kids begin their reading life, with letters and sounds. There are fun ways to engage with your kids when reading these books, ask questions and get their opinions on what they think the books is about based on illustrations and titles. 

Learning to read Level 2 is best for young readers who have gained some confidence in reading basic words and sentences. Books in Level 2 therefore contain longer and more interesting conversations and pages, so kids will need to learn to read more challenging words, scenarios as well as absorb and take in more complicated story-lines. Level 2 covers bands Orange, Turquoise, Purple, these books will have a wide array of sentence structures, and a range of vocabulary that might not be found in Level 1. However just like Level 1, Level 2 books also come accompanied with illustrations that lend themselves to the stories, the characters and ensure the children stay interested in the books.

Learning to read Level 3 obviously is the most challenging Level in this collection and will be best suited for readers who are completely confident with independent reading, readers are now fluent and can comprehend a variety of themes and stories. Books in Level 3 therefore are divided into chapters, and the sentence structures are different from page to page. Vocabulary is more evolved compared to Level 2 and Level 1, the story-lines are designed to push children to think on their own and give them the chance to try and grasp these new found concepts. Languages have now become technical, kids are now reading aloud quickly and confidently without needing help from parents!
