Overview

Our Phonics Book Bag Readers have been designed to support children’s phonic knowledge and early reading skills in the classroom and at home. The series includes a wide selection of diverse and inclusive stories, accompanied by bright and contemporary illustrations that will engage and inspire young readers.
