Read the caption

Read the caption at the top of the screen. Drag the correct objects to the correct place in order to match the caption.

In the teacher bar, use 'Further activities settings' to select a bank of captions from the ‘Captions and word structure’ section.

For pupils who find it difficult to drag with a mouse you can turn the ‘sticky pointer’ function on in ‘Setup’s phonics settings’.

You can also choose between pre-cursive and cursive and individual letter forms in 'Setup's phonics settings'.
