Read it yourself with Ladybird is one of Ladybird's best-selling series for children books. For over thirty-five years it has helped young children who are learning to read develop and improve their reading skills.

Each Read it yourself book is very carefully written to include many key, high-frequency words that are vital for learning to read, as well as a limited number of story words that are introduced and practised throughout. Simple sentences and frequently repeated words help to build the confidence of beginner readers and the four different levels of books support children all the way from very first reading practice through to independent, fluent reading.

Each book has been carefully checked by educational consultants and can be read independently. Further content includes comprehension puzzles, helpful notes for parents, carers and teachers, and book band information for use in schools. Ideal to inform grammar and English speaking knowledge.

The Three Billy Goats Gruff is a Level 1 Read it yourself title, suitable for very early readers, who have had some initial reading instruction and are ready to take their first steps in reading real stories. Each story is told very simply, using a small number of frequently repeated words and images to make reading more interesting.
