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.
I have signed up and got our first delivery of books yesterday much to the delight of my son. I just wanted to let you know I think this is a great idea! It is impossible to find books like this in the library and we only have one book at a time from the school and so when we have time to sit and read a few together – we don’t have any. So I think this is great and have told lots of friends too!
I have been telling everyone about this website! My son is so much keener to read because the books come addressed to him and they don’t all involve Biff and Kipper! His reading has very clearly improved in a really short space of time. Lovely friendly service when we were accidently debited twice (not the company’s fault but on it straight away and very apologetic) Thank you.
Ben and Sophie’s books arrived the day after I signed up. They were so excited when the post arrived and absolutely loved the bags. Thank you!
Hi we received our first packs this morning and they are great thanks. It’s a great idea.
Felix was so chuffed last night to receive his pack he loved the bag the sticker chart and best of all was so excited by the oxford tree reading book about Wizard of Oz he sat in the evening and read it without any prompting – it is the next level up from what he is reading at school and he was so excited to be able to read it. Just thought you should hear what a fab product you have!
I just bought a Reading Chest gift voucher for my niece as a last minute birthday present. What a fantastic idea! She loves the stickers and bag.
Wow!
What a fantastic help! Alfie loves choosing non-fiction books as there don’t seem to be many of these at his school. The reward chart is also a great boost.
My children are taught from home and I have previously really struggled to find books at the right reading level. Your website is so helpful and is making my life easier already.
