Levelled readers build literacy in small, manageable steps. Each level builds upon the last — from sounds and sight words to full stories and rich vocabulary.
Whether reading at school or curled up at home, your child grows with every page - one fun story at a time.
LEVEL 1: One Letter, One Sound
(Foundations A-Z, simple sight words)
LEVEL 2: Two Letters, One Sound
(Introducing diagraphs /th/, /sh/, /ch/...)
LEVEL 3: More Letters, One Sound
(More complex combinations /dge/, /tch/...)

THE STORIES THAT SHAPE US
In early childhood, the brain is at its most open — and the stories children encounter leave lasting mental and emotional imprints that last a lifetime.
That’s why representation matters. When African children see themselves at the centre of the narrative, they grow in confidence, curiosity, and a deep understanding of their place in the world.
But these aren’t just African stories.
They’re universal tales of childhood — friendship, mischief, courage, and wonder — that help every child grow empathy, imagination, and joy, wherever they come from.
Beneath the surface of every story, children everywhere discover how much they truly share.
REAL STORIES, REAL IMPACT

"I love this programme too much! Before, when my child was home they would only play. But, when they give them these books, when they return from school, they carry their books and they read them."
