The next laughter-led, science-backed step from sounding out to reading with confidence. If your child is beginning to read simple words but still needs plenty of practice, Stage 2 helps them take the next step without the wobble. Across 12 carefully sequenced books, children learn new sound patterns in real stories, so phonics does not feel like a drill — it feels like an adventure. Each book introduces just enough challenge to keep progress moving. Children meet common digraphs (such as qu, th, sh, ch, igh, oa, and ee), plus early trigraphs (such as ear and air). The sentences are a little longer, the stories are a little richer, and the confidence boost can be enormous. Because the books are decodable, children are not pushed into guessing from pictures or memorising whole words. Instead, they practise applying the phonics patterns they have been taught. That means more successful sounding-out, more fluent rereading, and fewer “I can’t do it” moments. And because this is Mrs Wordsmith, the learning comes with oddball characters, funny twists, and enough silliness to keep young readers turning the pages. How It Works Each book introduces specific phonics patterns (e.g., vowel digraphs like igh and oa, as well as consonant blends like th and sh). Kids practice these in context with decodable words that match the phonics focus. Previously taught sounds are revisited and reinforced to build fluency. Stories remain funny and accessible, so kids build comprehension and stay motivated to keep reading. Why It Works Systematic Phonics: Aligned with the Science of Reading, systematically introducing letter-sound combinations to help children learn how to decode words, and eventually move onto more independent reading.

English consists of about 44 sounds, but has more than 170 different ways to represent these sounds in writing. This is one reason that learning to read can be so challenging! Phonics can make this process easier. Early reading instruction should focus on systematic synthetic phonics in order to teach kids to recognise the patterns within these sound-letter correspondences. The better kids become at decoding letter-sound combinations, the better readers and spellers they will be.
