The eight books cover the requirements for ABRSM's sight-reading tests at each of Grades 1 to 8, and include: *many short, characterful pieces to sight-read, in a range of approachable musical styles *warm-up and technical exercises, to establish basic hand shapes and finger patterns within each key *simple musicianship exercises in which students can explore ideas and familiarize themselves further with the 'feel' of each key *longer solo pieces and a duet, for additional sight-reading practice or to learn quickly and play through for fun

Bullard's series is so appealing and well conceived that even students not participating in the ABRSM system should find it immensely useful ... The strength of the series lies in the fine quality and variety of the reading pieces and in the engagingly creative activities in the 'Make Music' sections ... Students having worked through these books are sure to be both better readers and better musicians. * American Music Teacher *
What Bullard offers piano teachers and students is different ... more concentrated and all-encompassing. Bullard's offering is unquestionably sensible, multi-purpose and invaluable not merely for improving sight-reading skills, but for educating and stimulating young pianists in their overall musical development. * EPTA Piano Journal *
