The Story of Spiderman (Level 2) (World of Reading)

We promised my son who is now 5½ and in Y1 at school that once he'd read all of the Level 1 books out loud by himself we would buy him all of the Level 2 books. He doesn't turn 6 until July so is amongst the youngest in year 1 and although likes having stories read to him isn't quite as keen without motivation to read by himself. These have done the trick (as did the level 1 series). Think Y1 is spot on for this series of books as he's spent a year developing some basic phonics skills and I've listened to him read this book out and you can see the step up between level 1 and level 2. He's working hard at sounding out the words but some are more complex and the sentence structure develops further in these levels. There's more compound sentences in these and some separated by the use of the comma, so when you're reading out loud he hears a distinct difference in intonation and pace. There seem to be more two syllable words in these ones as well. They're great for any boys or girls interested in super heroes. I'm looking forward to him being able to read all of the level 2 books so we can buy the level 3.

A present from Santa Christmas morning for my 5 year old and he sat and read it no sooner had he taken the wrapping paper off! Great for new readers, he managed it by himself, and was thrilled to read a book with a story he enjoyed at the right level for his ability, good value too.

I love this series as it's encouraged my 5 year old to read independently. He received the Star Wars series for Christmas and devoured them all over the holiday. As he is massively into his Marvel super heroes I thought this book would be great and he absolutely LOVED it. He's been reading it over and over.

My son loved reading this book again and again when he was going through his Superhero phase. I love these books, they definitely encourage readers, with short, easy sentences but with the thread of an adventure story holding it all together, and adding interest. The cartoon style pictures are helpful too.

Brilliant, very simple really easy to follow the text, great buy for kids starting or struggle to read. Very clear well spaced out words.

Bought for my 6 year old grandson. He enjoyed reading it and only needed help with a few words. Very entertaining for children.

Bought a whole load of these books for my son who loves reading but gets bored with the books his school provide. He really enjoys reading about his favourite superheroes in stories aimed at his age group. Highly recommended.

Thought this would be good for my 4 year old though did notice the lack of any screenshots of the insides of the book. Now I know why. Some really hard words in there and not good for a new reader. You expect a few harder words introduced throughout the book but this wasn't really thought out. Just tells the story. Summary: Fine for parents to read to their children but not for helping the children read.

Received just as describe! Great tool. Fir reading

Good

My son loves it !

My kids enjoyed it a lot! The illustrations are very good.

This is a gift for a boy I know. I hope he likes it..
