The Big Dog is from Beginner Reader Level 0 and is ideal for children aged from 4+ who are developing their phonics and early reading skills.

Two stories that build on the phonics learned in previous steps and focus on the sound and letter combinations: j, v, w, x, y, z, zz, qu.

Each book has been carefully checked by educational and subject consultants and includes comprehension puzzles, book band information, and tips for helping children with their reading.

With five levels to take children from first phonics to fluent reading and a wide range of different stories and topics for every interest, Read It Yourself helps children build their confidence and begin reading for pleasure.
