Review: 

In a similar fashion to the first set, these books offer additional, more advanced, reader/activity books that combine practice of lots of phonics based words with a number of sight words (some of the sight words could be learned phonetically later on). By the time the child is finished with this second series, he will have practiced 62 phonics-based words (such as Dad, jet, him, stop and bug) and 25 sight words (such as love, you, the, Mommy and room).

The stories are simple and silly and this set has a few with a superheroes theme. The idea is continued of filling in the reader's name (including the last name in one book). Again, using "Angela" as a sample name, the story titles are: "So Can Pop", "The Big Egg", "I Am Angela", "Super Angela", "Not So Hot", "Do It", "Boy and Girl Workbook", "Little Christina and the Pen" (fill in the name of a younger sibling), "A Pig is in the Room", "Angela is So Fun", "Angela's Family Fun", "Super Angela Meets Big Bad Bill".
