Feeling the love?

I wanted to thank you for providing an excellent service. You were recommended by a friend when I mentioned to her how frustrated I was that school were not sending home enough easy books for my daughter to practise with. Your company has provided a first rate service, with new books arriving promptly with out fail. The website is easy to use, and I would recommend you to anyone. I have only cancelled my account because my daughter has reached a level of reading competence that means she no longer needs the extra books, but if we need it again in the future I would certainly use you again. Many thanks!

As a family we have been most impressed by the range of books on offer and by your prompt service and would recommend you to our friends. Thank you, Ann Howarth

This system is brilliant! With an everchanging supply of books I managed to keep my 6 year old son reading all over the summer holidays and he has now moved up a reading band in his first week back at school. I can’t recommend this system enough…

I just wanted to say what a great service you are providing. Our son loves getting his books addressed to him and the books arrive really promptly. He has gained increased confidence in his reading and since going back to School following the summer holiday he has moved up X 2 book bands in class. Thank you.

Brilliant customer service. Great to have a supply of correct band reading books over the holidays. My daughter has been really excited to receive her own post and loves opening the envelope with her new books inside. She also loves the stickers and has proudly been putting them on her chart each day. She has also enjoyed submitting some book reviews for the competition. Thank you very much!

Hi. I just wanted to say how brilliant Reading Chest has been for us. As homeschoolers, finding enough reading material to keep our son satisfied was really difficult until we found your site. Thanks a lot.

I wanted to thank the Reading Chest for all the books that have come on time. We joined last summer when my son was below is reading age in Year 1. We have just got his SATs grades and he is now 2A – reading above average for his age and school have said he is a fluent reader. Thank you for all the amazing books which keep his interest and reading. Looking forward to the summer and the books to come!

Thank you for such a wonderful service.My daughter is in reception class and does not have regular reading at school and gets sent a book home when they remember.Thanks to you I can get school reading books and hear her read them every night.

Kathryn has developed from a reluctant reader to an avid reader in a few months. It gives me great joy to hear such fluent reading. Thank you reading chest geat service.

Dear Sir or Madam, May I say first how pleased I am with Reading Chest. My son adores the books and they are pitched exactly at his level, bringing his confidence on in leaps and bounds. My son has autistic spectrum disorder and for the first time today, showed off a skill he has learned by reading to his cousin and grandparents. He is also responding to praise and loves the star charts. However, he wants to place a star on the map with every book he reads, not just the special ones so would it be possible to buy extra ones? We are delighted to have found your company and are extremely pleased with the entire service. Thank you! Kind regards Liza”

We moved from the UK to Italy and are so happy to have found this amazingly easy way to have constant access to early reading books in English for my Primary 2 daughter. It’s a fantastic service. Highly recommended.

I just wanted to say what a brilliant service you are providing. Our son loves getting a package addressed to him and the books arrive really promptly.

I wanted to say a big thank you for your wonderful service. My daughter loved reading the books and zoomed up the levels without us having to pay a large amount. The books were varied and you had enough from each reading scheme to ensure she read plenty from each level. Your customer service was unbelievably good and I would like to think you for sending those extra star charts and for being so helpful when I asked daft questions. Molly is now reading books so now we use our local library but I look forward to reactivating my account when her little sister starts reading in a few years time. Best wishes to all involved in the Reading Chest. I hope your venture continues to be a success and again thank you.

I have just cancelled my membership as the boys have now progressed on but I wanted to say how fantastic the service has beenI have used 65 swaps with no problems and my youngest (age 5) has benefited the most and is now reading the same books as his older brother. Many thanks!!

Having access to these levelled reading books has given my daughter the confidence to take on harder and longer texts without being phased or giving up. She has gone from being a very reluctant reader to being a keen reader. She loves the envelope arriving and she loves the non-fiction books which can be difficult to get at the right reading level enabling her to read learn and enjoy them.

My Son started your reading program with myself a few months ago – at that time his reading was quite poor. Now after a little encouragement and assistance from myself (a 20 minute session twice daily on a Sunday) he is the best reader in his class and now manages to finish all 4 books with myself every week. He looks forward to opening his Envelope to see what new books are waiting for him (Smiles all round) Thanks for a precious opportunity to assist him in learning.

I’m writing to let you know your company has been FAB. We have loved being part of it and will likely return at some point. For now thoughwhere we live finally has an access road into town so we can access the free library and my son has moved into year 1 and can now also access the school resource centre. I will continue to recommend you to everyone I can this is a great idea and a fantastic scheme. My little boy’s reading has come on so much since starting. Thanks again and I will probably see you again in the new year sometime.

Hi there I have just cancelled my account as my daughter now gets enough books from school. I just wanted to say Reading Chest has been really useful for us especially over the summer holidays. The website is fantastic and so user friendly and the service has been amazing. I have recommended you to friends and at least one other has joined. Thanks again I shall definitely be using you again!

Thank you so much for the books bag chart and stickers which arrived so promptly today. My daughter is thrilled and has already had a go at all of the books. The stickers are a fantastic idea – she couldn’t wait to get started to ‘earn’ her first gold star. I am already thinking of upgrading to the Gold package to make use of your fantastic service.

Can I just take this opportunity to say what a wonderful service you provide and that this has really helped my eldest son with his reading in the last few weeks he has gone up several groups as the teachers tried to ascertain his level at the start of the new school year… we are very pleased. The twins start school next year but have started phonics and we are now starting the reading chest with them. Thanks for a wonderful service we have recommended you to many people and will continue to do so.

My daughter has absolutely loved Reading Chest and it was such a godsend during her Reception year when she was reading 4 levels below her real level at school. She has progressed so fast partly thanks to your wonderful service that at not quite six she is close to reading herself off the top of the reading scheme!

What a fantastic idea. My Daughter was so excited when our first parcel arrived last week the selection of books were great and she has already read two of the four…the sticker chart really helps. Thank you and the books arrived really quickly.

Reluctantly we have cancelled our account as Hannah is now receiving lots of books from her school. Thanks so much for providing such a worthwhile efficient and motivational service. The availability of such lovely books in excellent condition has enabled Hannah to make excellent progress during the time we have subscribed. We’ll miss reading chest. Thanks so much.

I have just cancelled my account purely because we are now reading fewer longer books and are able to get the books we need from library/school. I want to say a BIG thank you for the brilliant service you have provided and the enormous help you have been in getting my son to love reading. I’ve been really impressed and recommended you to lots of people. Best wishes.

I cancelled my account as now that my daughter is back at schoolthere just isn’t enough time to get through all the books. She thoroughly enjoyed the books and they kept her reading fresh over the summer months. She continues to excel at her reading and is 18 months ahead of her classmates. Thank you Reading Chest!

I have just submitted a request to cancel my account. This is because after many months of happy reading Nicholas and Sophie have reached the point where they are not using their Reading Chest books to their best advantage… We have all enjoyed receiving and reading our Reading Chest Books. Nicholas particularly liked the Ginn Pocket Reads and the Project X non fiction books. Sophie particularly liked the Rigby star and Alphakids books. I liked the experience of discovering amazing reading scheme books about which we might never have known had we stuck with school books alone. Thank you very much indeed!

I just wanted to say I think Reading Chest is brilliant and would recommend it to others. Thanks!

Many thanks for all of your help and the Reading Chest this is a wonderful idea and a brilliant way to keep my son reading all summer – thank you.

I cannot recommend Reading Chest highly enough. The books arrive promptly and they are always in great condition. My son loves the star chart. I appreciate being able to choose which schemes we receive. The rare times I had queries and contacted customer service their replies were made quickly and I felt as though you were dealing with real people rather than computers. I think it is excellent value for money.

We are very pleased with your impeccable service and great selection. Reading chest kept my daughter reading and interested in books throughout the summer holidays. She is always looking forward to receiving her envelope and the reward chart keeps her motivated. Highly recommended!

Hi! Thank you for your wonderful service and fast delivery! Your company is an answer to many parents including mine prayers!

I am really pleased with the scheme. My son’s reading has really taken off as a consequence! Love the star chart – please may we have another one with the stickers – it is a real incentive as he gets a treat at each milestone.

Hello I would like to thank Reading Chest for making my daughter’s first year of reading both successful and enjoyable. Molly is in receptionand I joined in April when she was on level 4 at school. We used your star charts and aimed to read part ofor a whole book each night. She was determined to gain her 35 stars and most nights she has been happy to read. As a result her teacher described her reading as fantasticand she is now on Oxford level 9 which I see as an amazing progression. Thank you for providing the books for such an inexpensive cost. All books have been in excellent condition and the turnaround is consistently reliable. Thank you again from a very happy parent.

My son has moved up two book bands since joining the Reading Chest a few weeks ago. A huge improvement has been noticed with his reading in school and he is now much more confident. He was aware that he was only on yellow level books and his friends were moving up book bands very quickly. My son is one of the youngest in his year and has a few advanced readers reading ‘junior books’ in the same class. I wanted to help with my son’s reading without confusing him with the wrong type of books. Joining the Reading Chest has really helped me understand the way children learn to read. I just wish I discovered it sooner!

My son is excited every time he gets a new envelope of books and it saves us a fortune! I have just moved him up a level – quite an achievement for him. He is at each level for much longer than other kids so we needs lots of books at each level to keep him interested. We have almost exhausted the local library supply at his level. Plus he’s a boy and its harder to find a good variety of ‘boy’ books. Reading Chest has helped a lot and I am telling friends who have children with special needs about it.

I have just received the latest batch of books. They are always promptly delivered in great condition. Despite my son going to an ‘outstanding’ school your books invariably engage him more. As a family they give us the option of reading more as the books are so inviting. It’s value for money compared to so many other options for spending your money on children!

I just wanted to say thanks. I signed up on Friday and the books arrived on Saturday – I hadn’t even had time to tell Freya they were on their way!!! Great service great start.

Great source of books for children learning to read! They are in a FANTASTIC condition seeing is believing makes a change to torn books with pages coming out! It is also wonderful for my daughter Madison to have books which are new and inspire her to read!! As a result she has moved up a level already!!! I also cannot praise you more for the speed in which you turnaround sending out new books!! I can highly recommend you and have done so to all the mums at my daughter’s school!

Just wanted to say what a good idea Reading Chest isit is so needed. Otherwise we get 2 books from school a week which my son does not want to read every day as he’s already read them and he just memorises them so it’s not beneficial. His reading has come on loads since doing this and he is becoming a lot more familiar with new words. He really enjoys choosing which one to read first!

The Reading Chest envelope when it drops on the door makes my children squeal with delight. They rip the envelope open and discuss the books they have received with each other. This innovative idea has increased both of my children’s reading age considerably and encourages them to read different texts along with those provided by school. It’s an incredible service. Thank you.

We really appreciate having books which are not only up to date but also in immaculate condition. A new book is always something special and Reading Chest replicates this feeling. Leo can’t be the only child bringing home books from school which are shabby dirty and frequently mended containing material that is out of date.

I love getting books from the post box. I check after school and can’t wait for more new books. My favourite is Project X. Tiger has a magic watch and I would like one. I love reading chest and can’t wait till I read all the levels. I like my sticker chart and certificates.

I love Reading Chest because the books are sent to my house. I love reading books and my reading is getting better. I love ripping the envelope open and doing book reviews with mummy. I love seeing my book reviews on the website and I love love love being star of the week with my sister.

Since joining the scheme in the summer my 6 year old has made fantastic progress. His school have them in groups for reading so he can only move up when the group does being able to move on at his own pace on this scheme has been of huge benefit to him. He is reading at a much higher level than if he’d just had school books and his enthusiasm for reading is growing and growing. My 3 year old also loves getting books in an envelope with her name on and is enjoying taking her first steps into reading. Even my reluctant 7 year old reads much better with the books that come from you especially as he gets far more non-fiction than he could from school. I will be recommending you to all my friends.

I would just like to say as a newcomer that my two girls love Reading Chest they have returned their first batch of books and can’t wait for more to arrive in the post. They love the sticker chart and especially love typing book reviews. They are so excited that something they have typed will hopefully appear on the internet.

My little boy is really enjoying the reading scheme and getting his own postalthough I have been woken up at 5.30am to have a book read to me… just to get another star on that chart… apart from that I cannot recommend your services enough. Many thanks again.

Fantastic idea!! I wish I had found out about the Reading Chest a lot earlier would have saved me a lot of money buying new books. My son loves receiving new books through the post and loves the variety of books that he receives. Kaya especially likes finishing a book and putting on the stickers. Fantastic idea and I highly recommend!

What a terrific idea! We got our first delivery yesterday and the books and stickers were a great success with my 5-year old reluctant reader! I wonder if you are planning to add more schemes – Oxford Songbirds would be great for example. Also would be nice to be able to prioritize the schemes or even the books within the schemes – just a suggestion 🙂

An excellent and innovative service. I have been really impressed by the speed of book delivery and the wide variety of reading material available.

The Reading Chest service has been fantastic in allowing my son to receive books he doesn’t have access to at school and his reading has really improved in just a couple of months. Great customer service too!

I think that Reading Chest is a brilliant idea and my son has benefited a lot from reading each day in the summer holidays. One suggestion – it would be really useful to be able to download a list of the books he has read between certain dates so that I can let his school know which books he has read over the holidays. Best wishes.

[Follow on to Jo Godfrey’s comments above.] Thanks for your comments Jo – just to let you know that you can see a list of books read in your account area by clicking on ‘view / amend book selections’. Then scroll down to ‘books I’ve read’. Hope this helps.

Although both my children enjoy looking at books and being read to they are reluctant readers and easily turned off by books at too hard a reading level. Having spent several hours in libraries trying unsuccessfully to find suitable books I was delighted to discover Reading Chest.

The Reading Chest is such a clever idea 😉 my son is really enjoying receiving the books specially addressed to him and it’s a great motivating factor for finishing the next set! We use and love the chart and stickers- thank you!

What a good idea I think Reading Chest is it’s great to keep up my son’s reading especially over the 8wks holiday and with books that are within his school’s reading scheme. Having been a teacher for years I have seen the difference it makes to keep up the reading practice and I will definitely spread the word to the other mums.

We think the concept is absolutely brilliant and my 5 year old just loves getting his new books in the post!

What a fantastic resource this is!! My daughter has been a reluctant reader with school books but is so excited about her Reading Chest books she loves that she gets to stick a gold star on the chart when she reads a book and that she gets her very own envelope through the door with her name on!! Can’t wait to see her face when she gets a certificate!! We can’t get these books from the library so this is a great way to keep her reading through the school hols thank you!!

It really is a great service – Ryan’s reading has really improved and his confidence has grown since he started it. It’s such a super idea as the children are reading books which they are familiar with at school. Thanks so much!

Hugo is really motivated with his reward chart. I’m glad I joined Reading Chest. It is nice he can have different types of books at his level through the post. It is always a bit exciting when we open the envelope.
