ORT is fantastic!
Another set of excellent books for the Reception/ year 1 child starting out with reading independently. The set includes:
1. House for sale (Book band 4 - Blue)
2. The New House (Book band 4 - Blue)
3. Come In! (Book band 4 - Blue)
4. The Secret Room (Book band 4 - Blue)
5. The Play (Book band 4 - Blue)
6. The Storm (Book band 5 - Green)
This set is designed to be read in order and really works to keep a child's interest and get them wanting to read on to find out what happens in the next book. Biff, Chip and Kipper move house. In the new house they find a hidden room while decorating. The room contains a miniature version of the house containing a mini version of the children and Floppy the dog. The final story tells how the magic key (the basis for most of the stories in Stage 5 onwards) is found.
Stage 4 books bridge the gap between highly supported reading at levels 1-3 and more independent reading at level 5 onwards. Highly recommended.

These are much more interesting for a child than the very dry Jolly Readers series from Jolly Phonics, but I'd also recommend that series especially if you have followed their original course (which is unrivalled IMHO).
