Suitable for all levels of reading ability, this second reading library contains 50 books specially selected from the award-winning Usborne reading library. With gorgeous illustrations, these books are ideal for reading before bedtime, and for the children to embark on their next stage of reading.
These are designed to be the first books a beginner will own and read for pleasure, with very light support from a parent or teacher. The easy-to-follow stories enable the children to build up their confidence in reading and comprehension, as they progress from the Usborne First Reading Library.
The first 14 books are taken from Usborne First Reading Level Three. These classic tales are designed to boost developing readers’ confidence.
The next 16 books are taken from Usborne First Reading Level Four. These slightly longer stories help to increase the young readers’ stamina in a range of story styles.
The remaining 20 books are taken from Usborne Young Reading Series One. Each of these books contains several lively short stories, or one longer story in easy-to-read chapters.
