Helping young ones learn
Sooty Woods is a cosy world of short, decodable stories designed for UK primary pupils (Reception to Year 3). Each page is simple: pick a year group and read — no logins, no distractions.
Phonics-first, SEN-friendly
Stories are aligned to phonics phases and focus sounds, with clear line breaks and generous spacing to reduce visual load. Use Focus Mode to spotlight one story at a time and keep attention where it matters.
Parents and teachers
Warm up with the focus sounds before reading. Keep sessions short and positive; celebrate small wins. Re-reading builds fluency, prosody, and confidence.
