The Step 2 Decodable Book Set supports children as they continue to build fluency and confidence in reading. This six-book collection introduces consonant blends alongside short vowels, allowing readers to expand their decoding skills while still working within a carefully controlled and supportive structure.

In this stage, children meet new characters and follow their entertaining adventures as they overcome challenges, solve problems, and learn important social skills. Each story encourages both decoding practice and comprehension, helping children grow as independent readers.
