Mr. Mystery introduces combinations such as gh as in though or pronounced f as in laugh and endings such as –sion and –tion. It also gives children practice in reading longer three or even four syllable words. Your child will now have an excellent all-round foundation to develop reading independence and confidence. The objective of the 15 books in the Very First Reading series is to enthuse your child through rhyme to learn and to enjoy the art of reading and to read with confidence and enthusiasm, which in turn will result in reading becoming a lifetime’s pleasure. Each book builds on material from the previous ones and together with the rhyming stories there are some superb illustrations in a range of different styles. You can also purchase all 15 in one boxed set together with a Parents’ Guide to the series. This series is ideal to compliment learning to read as the child starts school or even beforehand to give them a head start before they actually start school.
