Works offline
Each level saves itself the first time it is opened online, so it keeps working on a plane or in the car.
No adverts, no accounts
Nothing to sign up for and nothing to buy inside a game. Children cannot tap their way out to an advert.
Progress stays on your device
No cookies, trackers or analytics. Progress lives in your browser, and you can back it up or reset it.
One clear, natural voice
Every sound, word and instruction is a natural-sounding recording, so pure sounds are always said the same way.
A grown-ups area with checks
Run a Sound Check, a practice phonics screening check or Read to Me, and see which sounds need more practice.
Calm by design
Big letters, few choices for the youngest, and wrong answers shown calmly, never in red.
Read the grown-ups' guide or the privacy notice.
