Written specifically for children aged 5 – 8, this range of fully-illustrated first chapter books will build children’s reading speed and stamina, helping them to bridge the gap between decoding phonics and accessing longer texts. They encourage reading for pleasure and good reading practice for the newly emergent reader and are perfect for sharing or reading alone.

"Our children love reading Little Gems books, particularly our reluctant readers who see them as less daunting than bigger books. They love the illustrations and I love that they are written by well-known authors."
