Continuing the excitement from your favourite tales in Set 1, this portion of Set 2 delves into 20 different letter patterns, emphasizing alternative vowel sounds. Designed especially for older, struggling readers, these Hi-Lo decodable books sustain the series’ high-interest, age-appropriate adventures, featuring our diverse and relatable cast of teenage characters.
Aligned with the Letters & Sounds Phase 5 (Vowel Sounds) curriculum, these readers offer a strictly controlled vocabulary, including the introduction of ‘tricky words’ only after they have been taught. Each book provides a week-by-week, text-based framework for practising emerging reading skills, helping to build confidence in mastering the phonics code. The set is also compatible with other popular reading schemes, offering book-banded reading levels. This part of Set 2 includes 12 books at the Phase 5 level.
