Cat Naps is a simple, engaging phonics-based story that follows Top Cat, a very sleepy feline who drifts through his day in search of the perfect nap. With minimal text and a repetitive structure, young readers follow Top Cat as he naps in different spots, providing multiple opportunities to decode short, phonetic words.
 
This story is designed for early readers and uses decodable text focused on single-letter sounds (Level 1+ phonics). Children practice CVC (consonant-vowel-consonant) words such as “cat,” “nap,” “mat,” “top,” and “can.” These words reinforce essential phonics skills—matching single letters to sounds—and build reading confidence through repetition and predictability.
