Set 2: Second step in Phonics

Set 2 picks up where Set 1 leaves off. Eight decodable books map to UFLI Lessons 16 through 25, introducing the letters c, u, g, b, e, s, k, h, and r, working in the s suffix and plural -s, and bringing readers' first consonant blend practice into the stories by the second half of the set. Children who can already blend simple CVC words are ready for this stage.

Structured Literacy and Science of Reading aligned, 100% UFLI compatible. Featured by SPELD NZ, listed on Lifting Literacy Aotearoa's recommended decodable directory, and reviewed by Dyslexia Evidence Based.

What Set 2 covers: new letters, the s suffix, and early blends

Mac and Cam (Lesson 16) and On the Bus! (Lesson 19) introduce c, u, g, b, and e. I Can See... (Lesson 20) and Bugs! (Lesson 21) cover the s suffix and the s that says z. Ken and Kim (Lesson 22, k) and Bump! (Lesson 23, h) add two more single sounds. By Rob, the Ram (Lesson 24) and The Red Frog (Lesson 25), r joins the sequence and words like frog bring early consonant blends into decodable practice, building directly on the foundation Set 1 established. The sequence continues the same phonics progression used in UFLI Foundations, so Set 2 slots in immediately after Set 1 for UFLI classrooms, and works just as well alongside Orton-Gillingham, Wilson, iDeal (Learning Matters), The Code (Liz Kane), Sounds-Write, Little Learners Love Literacy (LLLL), or another structured, systematic phonics program.

Built for small-group instruction and home practice

Classroom bundles include multiple copies of each title for small-group instruction across differentiated reading groups. Homeschool families can use Set 2 as the next stage in a structured phonics sequence, whatever program they started with. Dyslexia-friendly typography and spacing carry through every title, and each book ships with a free bonus phonics game.
