Overview
This Read with Oxford six-book set brings together Biff, Chip, Kipper and Floppy the dog for a playful, sticker-filled introduction to phonics. Spanning Stage 1 First Steps through Stage 3 Growing Reader, each paperback pairs two short, decodable stories with hands-on activities like puzzles, coloring, writing prompts, and rhyming games. Built by the team behind Oxford Reading Tree, used in most UK primary schools, this set gives beginning readers a gentle, structured path from first sounds to confident reading, all while having fun with a much-loved cast of characters.

About the Book
Each of the six paperbacks in this Read with Oxford set combines storytelling with active phonics practice, so children are never just reading passively — they are doing. Stage 1 First Steps volumes focus on the very beginning of the reading journey: letter sounds, blending, and simple decodable words, paired with coloring pages and matching games that reinforce what's just been read. Stage 2 Early Reader volumes step things up with longer stories and activities in writing and drawing, helping children connect sounds to spelling as their reading stamina grows. Stage 3 Growing Reader volumes round out the set with richer vocabulary, spelling practice, and fun word games for children growing in confidence. Throughout, Biff, Chip, Kipper and Floppy the dog lead relatable, everyday adventures, keeping young readers engaged while they practice essential skills. Every book includes stickers linked to the stories and simple tips for parents, so grown-ups always know how to support the reading session, whether that's five minutes before bed or longer at the kitchen table. Because the set is leveled in clear stages rather than delivered as one long book, it's easy to match the right title to where a child is, and to see visible progress as they move from Stage 1 through Stage 3.
