Key Words with Peter and Jane uses the most frequently met words in the English language as a starting point for learning to read successfully and confidently. This reading scheme is scientifically researched and world renowned. Since 1964, it has helped generations of children learn to read. This boxset includes: Play With Us (1a); Look at This (1b); Read and Write (1c); We have Fun (2a); Have a Go (2b); I Like to Write (2c). Book 1a introduces Peter and Jane in 16 new words including 'and', 'I', 'likes' and 'has'. Once this book has been completed, the child moves on to book 1b, and so on. This essential vocabulary is carefully introduced, practised and developed throughout the scheme. This builds confidence in children when they recognise these key words on sight (also known as the 'look and say' method of learning). Examples of key words are: the, one, two, he. There are 12 levels to collect, each with 3 books: a, b, and c. · Series a: Gradually introduces new words. · Series b: Provides further practise of words featured in the 'a' series. · Series c: Links reading with writing and phonics. All the words that have been introduced in each 'a' and 'b' book are also reinforced in the 'c' books.

"Series a ~ gradually introduces and repeats new words". "Series b ~ provides further practice of these same words but in a different context and with different illustrations". "Series c ~ uses familiar words to teach Phonics in a methodical way, enabling children to read increasingly difficult words. It also provides a link to writing". Hard backed gloss covers, each book has well spaced, bold clear text. Lovely water colour Illustrations with a 'dated' feel adding to their charm; each clearly illustrate the text so aiding understanding. They lend themselves to super observational and comparison discussions with a simpler less cluttered time. Supplied with a sturdy gloss finish box, red cord handle and Velcro fastening. ( There is a set of Key Word Flash Cards available to use with these books ). A tailor made reading tool we use along side other story books and eventual reading scheme. I see these as an excellent key word and context reinforcement, clearly outlining word placement/meaning. As the text, theme and illustrations don't seem overly 'childish', perhaps an acceptable resource for adults too. My little one really engages with these, superb purchase! Review: Brilliant! - My 3 year old has been showing an interest in reading lately by asking what words said as we came across them. Whilst almost all the advice I could find suggested NOT to start her reading before school because it could confuse her, I really didn't want to let this enthusiasm die out - it was another 18 months before she started school which is a long time to defer answering her questions about words and letters. So I bought this boxset because I remember these books from when I was learning to read myself in the early 1980s. I've not pushed my daughter at all and have left it totally up to her to ask to read when she wants to. I'm amazed at how well she's come on. In 2 months we're on to level 2 and she is now confidently reading all of the level 1 words, even out of context (i.e she will point them out on signs, in other books etc). There are six books in this set - 1a, 1b, 1c then 2a, 2b, 2c. The "a" books introduce the new words for their series. The "b" books use the same words from that series but in a different context and also add some variations, such as "The" instead of "the" and "like" instead of "likes". The "c" books introduce writing / spelling the words from the series and are designed to be written in, like a workbook. The boxset itself represents fantastic value over buying the books individually, even bearing in mind that the "c" books in each of the 2 series are of limited use at the moment as they are more focused on writing / spelling which is a bit beyond my 3 year old. I am fully confident that she will have mastered these first 2 series by the summer, leaving her a whole academic year before starting school to learn the rest of the key words, if she wants to continue of course. ## Features - New - Mint Condition - Dispatch same day for order received before 12 noon - Guaranteed packaging - No quibbles returns ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | 1,292,598 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) 1,865 in Preschool & Nursery Education (Books) 2,747 in Children's Early Learning Books on the Alphabet 3,359 in English Literacy | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 out of 5 stars 433 Reviews | ## Images ![Key Words: Boxset - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81mVYXui79L.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Unlock Reading. *by B***A on 30 January 2011* Content synopsis and words introduced including variations as follows.. 1a Play with us ( Peter, Jane, and, Here, here, is, The, the, dog, likes, like, I, a, shop, in, has, toy, ball, tree ).

She taught me to read before going to school so I figured I would try them out with my own son. I have read many of the arguments for and against the whole word reading approach and the same for phonics and still thought this would be a good way to introduce reading. My son will learn phonics at school. As you can expect from Ladybird, the product hasn't changed. It's clear, great quality and loved by children. My son is 3 and reads 3 pages a night - we are nearly through the second book. I think it is teaching him some of the high frequency words and how to read for meaning although I realise this is part of the picture. I'd highly recommend this series - particularly for the price, it's value for money. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.com.kw/products/49718602-key-words-boxset](https://www.desertcart.com.kw/products/49718602-key-words-boxset) --- *Product available on Desertcart Kuwait* *Store origin: KW* *Last updated: 2026-09-09*
