Building upon your favorite stories from Set 1, Set 2's blend readers introduce 38 different adjacent consonants, also known as blends. Created especially for older, struggling readers, these Hi-Lo decodable books continue to feature a diverse and relatable cast of teenage characters in age-appropriate, high-interest stories. This portion of Set 2 aligns specifically with Phase 4 (Blends) of the Letters & Sounds program. The readers employ strictly controlled text to ensure that students are exposed only to the letter sounds they have previously learned. Additionally, tricky words are introduced only after they've been taught. These readers guide students week-by-week, offering a text-based platform for practicing emerging reading skills and building confidence in mastering the phonics code. The set is compatible with other popular reading schemes, with book-banded reading levels provided. This set includes 12 books at the Phase 4 level.
