Designed to appeal to older 'Catch-up' pupils at the very early stages of reading. Reading skills are developed through step by step progression, allowing practice and consolidation at each level. The series is designed around a group of teenage friends who are in a band and offers short, humorous stories about their lives. Reading skills are developed through step-by-step progression which allows practice and consolidation at each level. With three sets to choose from, Set 1 introduces sounds gradually and reinforces reading these in CVC words and follows phase 2 and 4 of Letters and Sounds. All words are at CVC level with one line of text to the page.
