Phonics readers are in demand! Research shows that early phonics instruction is a key to reading success. With Set 2, kids will take the next step, practice decoding, and build on the skills they developed in Set 1. Developed by a phonics expert, Phonics First Steps are an innovative program designed to help kids learn to read, step by step. New and improved—our bright boxed sets include eight little easy-to-decode books (24 page each), now illustrated in full-color, with an easier to read font for emergent readers—plus a handy parent guide. Children will gain confidence each time they say, "I read this book!" Set 2 covers short vowels, blends, digraphs, and more!
