Translating a verse out of English into Latine every evening at home, which they may bring to be corrected on Fridayes, after all the weeks Repetitions ended, and return written as fair as possibly they can write, on Saturday mornings, after examinations ended. And thus they may be made to know the Genders of Nouns, and Preter-perfect tenses, and Supines of Verbs, and initiated to speak and write true Latine in the compasse of a second yeare. So that to children of betwixt seven and nine years of age, in regard of their remedilesse inanimadvertency, I allow two whole years to practise them well in the Rudiments or Grounds of Grammars
Thus Hoole's second-form pupils for their grammar still repeat their parts in the morning and master De Generibus andHeteroclites, but add also Preterites, which was reserved for the third form at Eton about 1530. They still read Lily's Carmen De Moribus and Cato as their authors, but reserve Aesop for the next form. This enables them formally to emphasize colloquial Latin more, using both Pueriles Confabulatiunculae and the Colloquies of Corderius, though the Eton boys also had in their own way emphasized colloquial Latinity at this stage.

Thus Hoole's second form is still essentially that of Eton about 1530. In fact, both his first and second forms are nearer to the Eton of 1530 than to that of 1560.
His third form Hoole sums up thus:
This Form in short, is to be employed about three quarters of a year.
