About the books

Read with Oxford has been a staple of children’s education since the first set of thirty Biff, Chip & Kipper books were released in 1985. Across six stages of reading development, the books in the reading programme guide readers from phonics right up to confident, independent readers. The range from Oxford University Press also includes Julia Donaldson’s Songbirds, Winnie & Wilbur, Hero Academy, alongside non-fiction and much more.

Biff, Chip & Kipper was created by writer Roderick Hunt and illustrator Alex Brychta in response to the lifeless and dull reading schemes of their childhood, that Hunt was seeing again when trying to find books to help his son. So, they decided to make them themselves.

The series of over 800 books is now a worldwide phenomenon. It’s been read by over 30 million children, in over 15 different languages, from more than 130 countries. In the UK, it’s part of the National Curriculum, and they have been borrowed from libraries over a million times. It’s been adapted for television multiple times, including the newest incarnation Biff & Chip, which premiered in September 2021 on CBeebies and BBC iPlayer.

From the publisher

These 16 stories have been carefully levelled to support you and your child as they gain reading confidence. They help bridge the transition from phonics to richer reading, and are ideal for children who are starting to move towards independent reading. All the stories feature exciting adventures with the much-loved characters, as well as activities and ideas for discussion.
