Our review
This is the perfect "entry point" for children who might be reluctant to sit down for phonics practice. The familiar characters make the tasks feel much more appealing.
While it covers the same ground as standard scheme workbooks, the content is integrated into the Peppa Pig world. Keep in mind that this is a practice book, so it should be used alongside actual stories.
Before you buy it
This is for practice, not reading; there are no stories to decode. Check that you are not buying near-identical Peppa titles.

Questions parents ask
How long does it take to read Peppa Pig: Practise with Peppa: Ultimate Phonics aloud?
About 6.5 minutes at an unhurried pace, including a standard allowance for page turns, pictures and participation, from a word count of 500. Stopping for a longer conversation on every page will add more time.
What age is Peppa Pig: Practise with Peppa: Ultimate Phonics actually for?
Ages 3-6 in our testing, which is narrower than the publisher's range. With 1 sentence a page and vocabulary at 1 out of 5, it asks for that much attention span and no more.
Does Peppa Pig: Practise with Peppa: Ultimate Phonics survive being read on repeat?
Not really. It is worth a few readings and then it starts to grate on the adult long before the child is finished with it.
Is Peppa Pig: Practise with Peppa: Ultimate Phonics a good book for a child who will not sit still?
It helps that it has a refrain a child can join in with, and it asks the child questions to answer out loud. Those three features are what keep a wriggling toddler listening, far more than the subject matter does.
Will my child memorise Peppa Pig: Practise with Peppa: Ultimate Phonics?
Probably, and fast. The book leans on a repeated refrain, and at 1 out of 5 for re-read tolerance it survives the nightly repeats that get a book memorised. Expect your child to chant the pattern back before they can actually read.
Can a beginning reader read Peppa Pig: Practise with Peppa: Ultimate Phonics on their own?
It is closer than most picture books. With 1 sentence a page and plain vocabulary (1 out of 5), a confident early reader can attempt it, though it is written to be read aloud first.
Is Peppa Pig: Practise with Peppa: Ultimate Phonics part of a series?
Yes, it belongs to the Practise with Peppa series. It stands on its own, so you can start here without reading the others in order, then move to the rest if it lands.
What themes does Peppa Pig: Practise with Peppa: Ultimate Phonics cover?
We tag it with phonics, workbook, letter sounds and television tie-in. Those are the threads that actually run through the book, not just the ones on the cover, which is how it earns its place on our themed lists rather than a keyword match.
