King's Readers
Fourteen books, written for our children.
Madagascar has almost no English storybooks of its own. So we are writing them. The King's Readers is a graded series from Reception to Year 6 — fully aligned with Letters and Sounds Revised phonics, illustrated in bold flat colour, and set on the island your child knows.
Set in Madagascar
Every story takes place here. Children see their own streets, markets, and forests on the page.
Properly graded
Pink to Dark Red, matched to phonics phases and reading bands so books grow with the child.
More than a story
Every reader has VIPERS comprehension, vocabulary work, writing prompts, and a trilingual glossary.
