Peek inside
Our handpicked packs give your little one exactly what they need at each stage of their reading journey
How it works
We send a monthly special delivery of phonics books and activities to support learning to read at home
The Bear Can Read is a wonderful reading support for outside the classroom, allowing children to revisit stories as often as they want to, when they want to. From an early age this pack encourages children to develop a love for reading by creating their own library at home, and the engaging activities develop understanding. Perfect timing too!

Bear Can Read
What we do and what we believe in
The Bear Can Read is the world’s first truly joined-up reading club. It gives kids the wonder-working tool kit they need to learn to read. We put school & home on the same page and, just like magic, children get it. And you do too. We believe in making things easy. We believe in reader’s rights. And most of all, we believe in kids.

Making phonics fun with The Bear Can Read
We love phonics. So do children. And teachers and literary experts. It’s the reading launchpad for all state and independent primary schools. So much so, every child in state school now sits a Phonics Screening Check in year 1 to see how they’re flourishing. Independent schools have their own checks too.
Phonics breaks down written language into single sounds. 44 to be precise. Once they get to grips with these, they combine and blend them to make words. This method makes our clunky English language so much easier, helping children learn in a certain order (a bit like learning to count). When families copy this order at home, children really thrive.
Reading picture and popular character books together is so fun and an important part of developing a love of reading. However when children are learning to read themselves and becoming independent readers, books that don’t match their phonics knowledge can lead to frustration – and some children giving up on reading. The Bear Can Read bundles include brand new phonics books along with focused worksheets and engaging activities to help them consolidate the sounds they know and practise the next set of sounds they are learning.
Simple engaging materials + phonics gurus + monthly box of fun = eager readers
