Caption writing- Phase 2 phonics sounds

PowerPoint Resource – Modelling Simple Sentence Writing (Phase 2 Phonics)

This PowerPoint is designed to support early writing by modelling how to compose simple sentences and captions based on images. Each slide features a clear, engaging picture to prompt discussion and idea generation, giving children a meaningful context for writing.

The teacher uses the images to model how to orally rehearse a sentence before writing it, demonstrating key skills such as segmenting words using Phase 2 phonics, saying the sentence slowly, and writing it in a clear, simple form. The suggested sentence for each image is provided in the slide notes, allowing practitioners to confidently model accurate sentence structure while adapting to children’s responses.

The focus is on short, achievable sentences using decodable words, helping children to apply their phonics knowledge in writing. Teachers can also model key concepts such as:

Saying a sentence out loud before writing
Finger spaces between words
Writing from left to right
Using initial sounds and simple CVC words
Re-reading to check it makes sense

The resource is flexible and can be used in whole-class teaching, small groups, or as part of continuous provision enhancements.
