We are good to go.
Watch us all shine.
Watch us all glow!

The kids from All Are Welcome are stepping up! They've learned so much. They learned how to be readers, writers, listeners, and leaders. Three things they'll always keep in mind: Always try. Have fun. Be kind.

Step 2 Readers use basic vocabulary and short sentences to tell simple stories. They are ideal for children who recognize familiar words and can sound out new words with help. Perfect for children who are ready to read on their own!
