Continuing the narrative from Set 1, Set 2 dives deeper into the world of The Beanies series. Aimed at older, struggling readers, these Hi-Lo decodable books continue to offer high-interest, age-appropriate stories featuring a diverse cast of relatable teenage characters.

Phase 3 (Phonics) of this set is precisely structured to coincide with the Letters & Sounds program, introducing the next 22 letter sounds. With text that's strictly controlled to include only previously introduced letter sounds and 'tricky words', these readers provide a practical, text-based context for students to practice their emerging reading skills on a week-by-week basis. This focused approach is designed to build confidence in older, struggling readers as they continue to master the phonics code. Additionally, the set is compatible with other well-known reading schemes as it provides book-banded reading levels. The set includes 12 books at the Phase 3 level.
