 On the band wagon! July 15, 2009

i got excited when i found these books on the internet but wish i hadn't bothered.... they are not very good quality and the content is not easy for a 4 or 5 year old child to read - definately not up to Oxford reading tree or Usborne standards. They are also US based - I think I got sucked in because my child likes Dora! i would definately not have purchased these if i had seen the content beforehand.

I bought these books for my daughter, they have nice pictures and stories that she is familiar with HOWEVER they are US phonics not English, I feel sellars should make this clear.
 Dora Phonics January 24, 2009
Mrs. P. M. Payne (UK)
We bought this for our four year old who is able to read well.We have two sets of Oxford Reading Tree books which she has read and thought we would add to her collection with something different.
She was a bit overawed at first as it seems at first there are more words per page than the Oxford ones. Once she realised it was a different format (Oxford have the writing under the pictures and Dora has it on the facing page) that was okay. At the moment they are fine for her as she is reading phonetically but later on when she is noticing spelling it may be a problem as they are american spellings (missing out the letter 'u' etc).
Our daughter loves the stories although for adults they may be a bit strange as they are written to incorporate phonic sounds such as short 'i' or long 'a'.
Overall a fun way to read together.

My daughter loves Dora, and loves the Usborne UK phonics books. I figured these would be a match made in heaven...well, maybe not quite that good, but a good combination.
The books are US phonics, and IMHO, not as good reading as the Usborne books.
They are good books, good to use and read, but can't say they are as good as other phonics resources.
