Read at Home First Skills are engaging early learning books featuring beloved Oxford Reading Tree characters, designed to introduce essential first skills to children.

Each page allows parents and children to read numbers as digits (e.g., 1) and words (e.g., one), while also counting related items. Sentences describe the characters' actions (e.g., Kipper is looking for seven starfish), supported by fun illustrations. As with all Read At Home books, it concludes with enjoyable activities for parents and children to do together. This book aids children in recognizing numbers 1-12, developing counting skills, and understanding key number words like half, double, first, last, lots, and nothing. It incorporates both digit and word forms of numbers and encourages counting items throughout. Additionally, support is provided for parents at the beginning and end of the book, ensuring a comprehensive learning experience.
