Level 2

Level 2 books 1–20 are scheduled for release in February 2010.
We are accepting orders now to ensure you the earliest possible delivery.

Since the release of Level 1 books we have had a very enthusiastic response from students and teachers. As their confidence increased, many have asked for stories with more text. We have provided these in Level 2, again built around topics that include characters and settings with which students can easily identify.

The twenty books in Level 2 introduce the sounds (phonemes) and their spelling choices (graphemes) not covered in Level 1 (see below). Readers can continue to gain confidence by building upon words that were introduced in earlier stories.

Many teachers have commented that the illustrations in the Preliminary and Level 1 books provide an excellent focus for discussions, so the same style has been retained for Level 2. Tutor’s notes emphasise discussion topics and teaching points.

Relevant topics
The characters in Level 2 books include teenagers, families, workers and Indigenous people, along with refugees and other new arrivals to Australia.

Topics include work-related issues including health and safety, and the need for training.

Several stories focus on finding suitable accommodation. Others feature food, music, relationships and learning to drive. Humour, of course, is frequently present.
