Our review
This 2012 Level 3 bind-up contains Floppy and the Bone, Poor Old Rabbit, Shops and Such a Fuss. Two are Phonics stories for practising sounds and simple blending; two are First Stories built around early everyday words and a wider story-reading task. That split makes the volume more than four interchangeable decoding exercises.
Use the ISBN and contents, not one familiar story title, to identify the book. OUP's current Stage 2 Sing Song collection also includes Floppy and the Bone but groups it with The Sing Song, The Red Coat and Missing!, so it is a different product. The Moon Jet bind-up uses the same two-and-two design at the older Level 4. Choose between the 2012 volumes by the actual story and sound demands, and stop after one completed story rather than treating the whole bind-up as a session.
Before you buy it
Check the ISBN when buying: current OUP Stage 2 collections reuse Floppy and the Bone in a different four-story grouping. Match each story to the child’s taught sounds.
