This next phase in the Phonics All-Stars program expands on the skills new readers have developed thus far. These books introduce readers to new high-frequency words such as me, was, and they, as well as new consonant sounds, digraphs, and blends. Readers will grow in their self-efficacy while exploring longer stories with increasing fluency. Visuals are paired with hi-lo text to make this phase accessible and enjoyable for developing readers.
