Help your child turn letters into words

If your child can say letter sounds but cannot yet blend them to read short words, Level 2 of Sure Start Reading gives them the step-by-step guidance and daily practice they need to make reading finally click.

Each short, teacher-led lesson builds blending and decoding skills through engaging repetition and small wins, so your child gains reading confidence quickly.

Is Level 2 Right for Your Child?

Level 2 is designed for beginning and developing readers who already know most letters and sounds, but are not yet reading simple words smoothly. You may notice your child:

• Sounds out each letter but struggles to blend the sounds

• Guesses words based on pictures or the first letter

• Hesitates, gets stuck, or loses confidence while reading short text

If that sounds familiar, Level 2 is the perfect next step to build real decoding skills and reading confidence.

What Your Child Will Learn in Level 2

Your child will practice the key phonics skills needed to read short-vowel (CVC) words accurately and smoothly.

✔️ Blend letter sounds to read short-vowel words

 → Your child will finally connect letters and sounds to read real words without guessing.

✔️ Read short-vowel words independently

 → Build confidence reading simple words like cat, hop, sun, and bed automatically.

✔️ Read short sentences smoothly

 → Develop early fluency, expression, and comprehension that make reading more enjoyable.

✔️ Strengthen foundational letter-sound skills

 → Reinforces what your child already knows, so reading feels easier and more natural each day.

Each lesson builds skill and confidence, one success at a time.
