Level Two builds on the foundation provided in Level One, by reinforcing phonological awareness skills and letter recognition in daily 30-minute sessions. Further instruction is provided in the following key areas:

• Learning letter sounds
• Blending sounds to read word patterns
• Recognizing sight words
• Reading simple stories (combining decoding skills with print awareness skills learned in Level One)
• Understanding comprehension strategies
• Learning language conventions

Students progress from emergent readers to beginning readers through a carefully designed, systematic sequence of activities.
