All words are at CVC level with one line of text to the page. Set 2 begins with text at CVC level and continues through the digraphs ch, sh, th, ck, ng, qu and wh. Set 3 introduces two spellings for vowel sounds. The series is designed around a group of teenage friends who are in a band and offers short, humorous stories about their lives.
