One way to make older pupils fell comfortable about reading a phonic reading scheme is to make the illustrations age-appropriate and the stories fast moving and exciting.
Another way is to introduce chapters into even the simplest of texts. It makes children feel that they are reading texts their peers would like to have a look at.
