Starting School Stories

The first day is a big step. A story that rehearses the day in a positive, playful way can reduce worry and spark excitement.

Children often imagine the unknown in giant proportions. A short, upbeat story that walks through packing a bag, saying goodbye, meeting a teacher, and coming home again can shrink anxiety down to size. Personalise with your child’s name and the type of school setting they will recognise. Keep the tone hopeful rather than perfect—small nerves are okay. For early readers, choose a medium length they can finish in one sitting. My Story Wish lets you align vocabulary to age and, if helpful, to phonics practice for new P1 readers.

With My Story Wish you choose your child’s age, an optional phonics phase, theme, and illustration style. Stories are written to feel calm and age-appropriate, with illustrations on every page. You can try a free story without creating an account, then subscribe for more each month.
