Give beginning readers the confidence to succeed with these carefully matched decodable caption stories. Designed specifically for children learning phase 2 phonics, each set provides simple, achievable reading opportunities using only previously taught sounds and words.

Perfect for:

Whole-class phonics sessions

Guided reading groups

Independent reading practice

Reading interventions

Sending home to build confidence with parents

Cutting up into mini-books or reading strips

The stories feature short, repetitive captions that gradually build into simple narratives with familiar characters, helping children practise blending, develop fluency and experience early reading success. Because every caption is fully decodable, children can focus on applying their phonics knowledge rather than guessing words. Where tricky words are used these are shown in red to help children identify what skills they need to use.

Whether used as part of a daily phonics lesson, as quick reading practice or as take-home reading, these caption stories provide meaningful, confidence-building opportunities that children can enjoy again and again.
