Books for struggling readers

Many of our schools have been telling us that they’re looking for additional reading materials and support for their most reluctant readers, including those who are yet to meet expected levels for their group at the end of Key Stage 1.

We’ve highlighted some of the best series available from a range of publishers to help you turn all of your pupils into fluent, motivated readers – from phonically decodable books for Key Stage 2 and beyond, to graphic texts for reluctant readers, to HiLo (high interest, low ability) series, dyslexia-friendly books and books for SEND pupils.
